A month ago, we announced our upcoming column with Rick Perlstein
covering the 2024 elections, and how we needed to raise $200,000 by the
end of the year to keep this work sustainable.

Since then, we've raised tens of thousands of dollars, and we're so
grateful to every reader who's chipped in to help power our newsroom.
Whether it's a lot or a little, each donation makes a major impact.

We have only three weeks left to reach our goal of $200,000 by the end
of the year, and time is of the essence. Any amount you give today will
make a huge difference.

Can you chip in today to help us reach our goal? >>
