Dear MERIP Family,

As we approach 50 years of publishing, MERIP remains committed to changing the popular narrative about the Middle East. We want our critical analysis to reach the widest possible audience, so today we have an exciting announcement to share with you:

We are removing our paywall and becoming an open-access website permanently. 

In order to support this exciting change, we need our subscribers and donors more than ever. Your support enables us to continue publishing high-quality, thoroughly-edited articles on crucial issues across the region. 

For our subscribers and donors, we are introducing a new membership model that comes with additional perks at each level of membership. All members who join at or above the $50 levels will receive invitations to members-only webinars at the launch of each issue of our quarterly magazine Middle East Report. Members who give more will receive MERIP swag and customized MERIP experiences. 

If you are currently a subscriber or donor, we are automatically converting you to a membership at the appropriate level. Please be on the lookout for another email today that identifies your membership level and explains the benefits you will receive.

If you are not a subscriber or donor, now is a wonderful time to join MERIP as a member. You will enjoy new perks of membership and the satisfaction of supporting the content you love. And, for a limited time, your contributions will have double the impact. An anonymous donor is matching all new contributions up to $5,000. 

Thank you for all the support and devotion you have shown MERIP over the last 50 years. Please join us today to help build the next 50.

Executive Director
