John –

As this pivotal month comes to a close, one fact is undeniable: the right-wing media handed Donald Trump the presidency.

From Fox News to Sinclair, X, and Joe Rogan, the right’s powerful machine didn’t just amplify Trump’s lies—they controlled the narrative and set the agenda.

They manufactured outrage, spun false economic panic, and misled millions of voters who don’t follow politics closely.

The result? Our nation is teetering on the edge of becoming an autocracy.

The good news is that COURIER is building a progressive, pro-democracy media network to take on the right’s propaganda machine and fill the legacy media void with fact-based reporting. We’re committed to this fight—but we need your help to make it happen.

Tonight is our biggest deadline yet. At midnight, we close the books on our November fundraising goal—$50,000 to expand our reach and show the right-wing media we’re not giving up. We’re just $10,000 away from hitting that goal. Can you chip in $25 right now to help us fight back? [[link removed]]

Here’s why your support matters so much right now:

* Publishing local, values-driven news: Our 11 state-based newsrooms focus on pro-democracy, fact-driven reporting in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Michigan. We’re the trusted source that counters right-wing lies in communities that matter most.
* Reaching millions of Americans: With 4.5 million followers and nearly 2 billion social media impressions in the final 90 days before Election Day, we’ve proven that we can take progressive news directly to voters in spaces dominated by disinformation.
* Leading the charge online: From TikTok to X, our creators and experts deliver the facts where people are already looking for news. This election cycle, we surpassed 1 million followers on TikTok and racked up over a billion views.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. The traditional media is already capitulating to the right, failing to hold Trump accountable as his administration takes shape. Meanwhile, the right-wing disinformation machine is gearing up to dominate the next four years.

We have until MIDNIGHT TONIGHT to hit our $50,000 goal. This is our first major fundraising deadline since the election, and every donation is a message to Trump and his media allies that we’re not going anywhere.

Can you chip in $25 or any amount now to help us hit this critical goal? [[link removed]]
