Being an independent news outlet and activism hub is tough, Jack. That's why
Daily Kos is the only one around.

Daily Kos has been hit by a double whammy this year. Ad revenue has seriously
declined in recent years, as Big Tech companies like Amazon, Facebook, and
Google have taken over the online ad market. That decline has made us reliant
on grassroots donations, but those have slipped this year too. This was a
problem for lots of progressive groups until Kamala Harris took over the top of
the ticket and drove Dem energy through the roof. Even with that burst of
excitement, though, we still have to make up for lost time. So, I have to ask
you again:

Jack, please donate $5 right now to help offset the cost of Daily Kos' GOTV
campaign if you haven't already. We're working to recruit 100,000 GOTV
volunteers, but we can only make this happen with your support.

Jack, we like that Daily Kos is a small, independent news outlet and activism
hub. It means we're not beholden to the personal agenda of a billionaire backer
or the interests of big corporate sponsors. It keeps us accountable to you, our
readers.

Our biggest source of income is donations of just a few bucks at a time from
readers like you—and when I say a few bucks, I mean it. Our average donation is
just $9.44! These small donations add up, though, making up more than 60
percent of our revenue. That means we can really only launch a major new
campaign, like recruiting 100,000 volunteers to help Get Out The Vote this
fall, with your support.We literally can't do this without you.

Daily Kos has been hit by a double whammy this year: Ad revenue has long been
in decline across the news business and, on top of that, grassroots donations
slipped too. It puts real pressure on us heading into one of the most important
elections of our lifetimes. We're still dedicated to Getting Out The Vote this
fall, though.

It's too important to sit on the sidelines in this election. That's why I'm
asking you to please donate $5 to help offset the cost of Daily Kos' GOTV
campaign and help us recruit 100,000 volunteers this fall.
