Dear fellow progressive,
 
Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday, a global generosity movement encouraging people to do good. On this day, our focus is on preserving a crucial pillar of democracy - the freedom of the press.

In these unprecedented times, the role of free, unbiased journalism is more critical than ever. It serves as a watchdog, holding institutions accountable, and provides citizens with the information they need to make informed decisions. Protecting this freedom is not just about safeguarding a principle; it's about ensuring the future of our democracy.

Let's stand together this #GivingTuesday to fortify this cornerstone of democratic society and keep the light of truth shining brightly.
Your donations make a significant impact, and this year, we ask that you consider donating anytime between now and 11:59 pm on #GivingTuesday, December 3rd. 

The results of the November 5 election will be transformational for this country and our world, but also for The Progressive magazine. 

As the authoritarian-leaning right gains power and finds almost limitless chances to alter our government and daily existence, our mission at The Progressive has never been more crucial. However, this mission is increasingly challenging. The expenses of producing a bimonthly magazine and managing a daily news website keep rising. Despite this, we remain committed to providing critical information and inspiration for a better future.
 
Your financial support is essential for us to continue advocating for peace and social justice. Without you, our efforts would fall short.

Throughout our long history, we have consistently chosen the challenging route—speaking truth to power, illuminating policymakers' dark, smoke-filled rooms, holding the powerful accountable, and highlighting grassroots movements and the triumphs of everyday people against corporate giants.

Your support empowers us to report freely, expand this publication, and connect with new audiences. It has also enabled our writers to address today's pressing issues—wars and peace movements, the climate crisis and grassroots initiatives, the politics of hate, and the movements advocating for change.

If you believe that hard-hitting progressive journalism is essential to our democracy, please make a gift this #GivingTuesday. 

If you donate $10.00 or more, we will send you a Progressive bumper sticker; for a donation of $75.00 or more, we will mail you a 2025 Hidden History Calendar as a thank-you gift. Donations of $150.00 or more will receive a copy of Democracy In Print: The Best of The Progressive Magazine 1909-2009. Donations of $200.00 or more will receive a Fighting Bob La Follette bobblehead as a token of our appreciation!
 
Donate Now!
P.S. Would you like to make an even deeper impact? You can become a monthly sustainer today and you will receive our bi-monthly in both print and digital editions—free of charge.
