Friend,
For the last month, our website traffic has gone through the roof. Our readers are desperate for reliable and accurate information.
Facing a global pandemic and an unprecedented economic crash, along with a pathological liar in the White House, our readers are telling us every day how much they value our work.
But I'll be honest. I'm worried.
You see, in order to pay our journalists and keep our website running free of charge and with no advertising or paywalls, we rely on donations from everyday readers. With millions of people thrown out of work, we know that many of our readers simply will not be able to make donations as they have in the past.
Please don't get me wrong. Everyone on our team knows that it's a privilege to be able to do this work every day. We are so immensely grateful to have your support allowing us to produce journalism every day to inform, inspire, and ignite change for the common good.
But we have never conducted a fundraising campaign in an economic climate like this. We know how much you value us, but we also know that many of our most loyal donors are being forced to cut back on their giving.
If you can afford to make a donation, please give as much as possible. We simply cannot provide the journalism you count on without your support.
We can't do it without you.
