Hey, John, it’s Tara McGowan from COURIER.

I’ll cut to the chase: our September fundraising deadline is at midnight tomorrow night, and we’re about $8,000 behind our $40,000 goal.

Polls show a tight race, and we need your help before tomorrow at midnight to fund our newsrooms in the swing states that will decide the election. 

Can you support our mission with a $25 donation today? Any donation helps us get closer to our goal of providing factual, trustworthy journalism to the communities that need it most.

At COURIER, we fearlessly combat the misinformation that’s rampant online and in right-wing media. 

Our reporters are on the ground in eleven battleground states covering local issues that matter. Unlike other outlets, we’ll never sacrifice our values for clicks or to raise our bottom line.

And what we're doing is working. Here’s how I know: 

This week, COURIER’s Pennsylvania newsroom, The Keystone, came under attack from the right-wing propaganda rag The Blaze because of our coverage of the Presidential election.

The right is scared of the service we provide, and they are doing everything they can to smear our work so they can continue to spread election lies and hate without accountability. 

To help fund our newsrooms ahead of election day, we need to raise $40,000 in September. With less than 48 hours to go, we’re $8,000 behind that goal.

Any donation counts – can you chip in $25 before our deadline?

Thank you so much,
Tara McGowan
