Jack, Daily Kos delivers the news you can do something about, but what does that actually mean?
Our mission at Daily Kos is to deliver the progressive news, fight for democracy by giving our audience information, provide resources to win elections and impact the government. We sit at the crossroads of advocacy and delivering the news—no other organization or news outlet does the work we do.
Unfortunately, news organizations have been hammered by declining revenue, resulting in mass layoffs and even some outlets shutting down. What hasn't grabbed as many headlines is the financial hardships that progressive advocacy organizations are facing that have also resulted in staff layoffs.
Just like news outlets, Daily Kos relies in part on advertising revenue to pay our bills and just like advocacy organizations, we rely mostly on grassroots donations to power our work. The problem is that both advertising revenue and small-dollar fundraising are declining.
This is absolutely horrible timing. Without proper funding resources, it will be harder for us to protect our democracy and turnout Democratic voters in 2024. We need a strong and independent news media to provide the public with prudent information about the elections. We need robust advocacy organizations to help educate, mobilize and turnout Democratic voters.
Daily Kos is the country's largest news and activism hub, but we are not immune to the financial hardships that have plagued both news outlets and progressive advocacy organizations. In order to survive and keep fighting, we need your help. Can you support Daily Kos and our work with a monthly donation of $5?
If you can't make a monthly contribution, please consider making a one-time donation to support the work Daily Kos does every day.
Thank you for all you do,
Amanda McKay, Daily Kos
