ORION MAGAZINE: The Spring 2026 issue, Working the Land: Lessons in Labor and Collective Action, explores the relationship between labor and the environment and calls for solidarity at a time when that value is under attack. Contributors address various ways that humanity has put the planet to work—by extracting resources, expanding the reaches of capitalism, or using other creatures as helpmeets. But they also venture to imagine what an alternative version of this relationship might look like; one where the channel between labor and the land is driven not by division or profit but by coalition and repair. Inside:

  • Labor journalist Kim Kelly explores what climate activism can learn from union organizing
  • Camrin Dengel photographs the practice of regenerative farming as it pushes back against big agriculture
  • Emma Pattee interviews legendary activist Sarah Schulman and labor scholar Naomi R. Williams about what true solidarity looks like
  • Daniel Naawenkangua Abukuri investigates the epidemic of stolen donkeys—an essential human workmate—in Ghana

Chloé Cooper Jones debuts as Orion’s new travel columnist.
