An Invitation to You,
Become an Architect of Change

As many of you know, The Sunday Paper started as a simple newsletter, a place for me to share with you what was on my heart and mind. Since then we have grown into a digital publication, a homebase where the most inspiring and insightful voices gather to share their wildly authentic lives and move humanity forward.

Since its inception, The Sunday Paper has been available for free, a valuable resource for hundreds of thousands of loyal readers, viewers, and subscribers in search of hope, belonging, and purpose. I am genuinely grateful to each of you who have donated over the years to support our journalism and allowed our community to grow bigger than we ever imagined.

In order to continue growing—as a community and as a team here at The Sunday Paper—we’ve been hard at work to bring you even more inspiring content with our brand-new membership program that we’re calling
Sunday Paper PLUS.

We will continue to publish our newsletter delivered to your inbox at no cost each week, and you’ll now have the opportunity to become a Sunday Paper PLUS Member—which means you’ll be able to unlock additional content like exclusive access to my new, monthly video series called Above the Noise with Maria, share your reflections after each essay in our members-only comment sections, receive bonus articles and courses, and much, much more!

My desire to build this new membership program is to be able to offer you more opportunities to connect with a community comprised of fellow Architects of Change, to gather together in love and mutual respect, to feel seen, safe, supported and heard. Our collective purpose at Above the Noise with Maria is to create a better world and move humanity forward, together.

I hope you’ll join us in becoming an Architect of Change with a membership to Sunday Paper PLUS. I’d be honored to gather around the table with you.

Love,

Maria Shriver
