Jack, I want to make sure you saw this email that my colleague Amanda sent you last week.

We sent a number of these emails last week in a mad scramble to hit our final fundraising goal and close the books on 2023. You probably see emails like this almost every month. That's because ad revenue can't support Daily Kos operations on its own. In fact, it hasn't been able to for more than a decade now.

Our biggest source of income is donations of just a few bucks at a time from readers like you. So, if it ever looks like we're gonna come up short, we have to turn to you. I understand, though, that these emails can get tiring to read. (They sure get tiring to write.) But there is something you can do that would help keep us from having to write them every month: Start a monthly recurring donation.

Recurring donations are a HUGE thing for us. It lets us see how much we can expect to make month after month, and that allows us to budget accordingly. It takes a huge amount of pressure off us and, yes, it means we don't have to scramble so much at the end of every month.

Starting a monthly recurring donation to Daily Kos is the single most powerful thing you can do to support our work. So please help us get off on the right foot this election year so we can focus 100 percent on kicking Trump's @$$ and electing Democrats up and down the ballot. Click here to start one now.

If you can't donate monthly, but still want to support our work, please click here to donate $5 one time.

Thank you again,
Michael Langenmayr, Daily Kos

Jack, I'll get straight to the point: Daily Kos relies heavily on donations from our readers and activists to cover our expenses. Nearly 60% of our overall revenue comes from grassroots donations. In other words, we literally can't survive without you.

That's why I am writing to you today: Daily Kos needs to raise $5,321 by the end of the year—which is just days away. Can you support our ongoing work with a donation of $5 or more today?

DONATE
Thank you and Happy New Year,
Amanda McKay, Daily Kos
