The work Daily Kos does every day lies at the crossroads of delivering the news and providing the avenues to take effective action on that news—along with a vibrant progressive community where you can share your ideas and opinions.
If Daily Kos were to disappear, nothing would replace the work we do, because no one else delivers the news along with the tools you need to take immediate and impactful action. However, what makes Daily Kos so unique, also means we face the same financial challenges that plagued so many other news outlets and progressive advocacy organizations.
We rely on grassroots donations from our community to power our work. These donations are only a few dollars, but when thousands of readers and activists donate it really adds up. In fact, those grassroots donations are our largest source of income to power our work.
Over the last few months Daily Kos has seen a drop in our grassroots donations. This is particularly worrisome because we don't have the resources needed for our critical Get Out the Vote work before the election. We are halfway through the month and need to raise $207,826 by the end of July.
Your support means a lot to us. We know that in order to keep operating, we have to be accountable to our readers and activists. Please support Daily Kos by donating $5 or whatever amount is meaningful to you today.
