Jack, Daily Kos needs to raise $70,127 to close the books on September, and we only have FOUR days left to do it. This is bad. Please take one minute right now to donate $5 to help us meet our monthly goal.

Daily Kos is the country's largest progressive, independent news outlet. News media have been badly battered over the past decade and a half, with tens of thousands of jobs lost and countless more losing benefits, taking pay cuts, or being furloughed for periods of time. Many outlets simply shut down entirely.

Daily Kos has not been immune to the economic pressures causing this, but we have survived because we pivoted away from an ads-only revenue model. We now rely on readers and activists like you. That means our biggest support comes not from corporate sponsors or billionaire backers, but from tens of thousands of average people each chipping in a few bucks at a time to keep us online and keep our work from being locked away behind a paywall.

To be honest, we LOVE that. It keeps us free of corporate influence and the shady personal agendas of billionaire investors. But it also means that our monthly fundraising goals are hugely important, and it's really scary when we come up short like we are now. That's why I'm asking you to donate today.

Daily Kos is coming up short. Can you donate $5 right now to help us close the books on September?

Thank you,
Michael Langenmayr, Daily Kos
