Jack, Daily Kos prides itself on delivering news you can do something about.
What does that mean, though?

Daily Kos is a news site, covering stories that often don't get enough
attention from traditional outlets, likethis one
<[link removed]>
about Donald Trump pressuring House Republicans to shut down the government
because he subscribes to a racist conspiracy theory. While our content team is
digging into stories like this, our activism team is working to connect our
readers to actions that make sure Trump never gets anywhere near the White
House again—justcheck out <[link removed]> our Get Out The
Vote actions on Mobilize.

Working at the intersection of news and activism has been very good for Daily
Kos over the past decade, but this year we were hit by a double whammy. News
outlets have been gutted by asharp decline

in ad revenue in recent years. On top of that, grassroots donations—which make
up a large majority of our income—took a major hit too, a trend that wasnot
<[link removed]>
unique to us.

The long and the short of it is that ad revenue and fundraising have declined
at the worst possible time. We need a robust news team to hold Trump
accountable for his lies and an activism team that can Get Out The Vote for
Kamala Harris and Democrats up and down the ballot.

With Labor Day in the rearview mirror, your inbox is going to get hammered
with emails from candidates running for office. Daily Kos can't compete with
that deluge. That's why I'm asking you to start a monthly recurring donation to
Daily Kos now, so that we have the resources to continue working through the
election and beyond.

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. We need your help to keep fighting. Our
average donation is just $9.44. Can you support Daily Kos and our work with a
monthly donation of $9.44?
