Dear John,
If we ever wondered what Ms. means to our readers, we got our answer! Ms. was recently nominated for the American Society of Magazine Editors' 2020 Best Cover award. We received an outpouring of support from our readers and wanted to share a few of the kind comments we've received on social media in the past few weeks. We're so proud to be a reliable, trustworthy source of feminist news for almost 50 years now. .jpg)
"Ms. — Leading the way and telling it like it is. Great cover!"
"Powerful and complex! Well done (Owning it is just another great reason I subscribe to the paper-and-ink version of this wonderful magazine!)"
"As an OBGYN, I particularly love this cover and am grateful to Ms. Magazine for never letting up in this battle for reproductive freedom and justice for all women."
"Ms. Over 40 years of incredible covers. I will always subscribe to the paper version. I have every issue saved from the '70s to today. It is the true history of the women's movement!"
And now, because of your longtime support, we want to update you on where Ms. stands today—and our work in the days and weeks ahead. Specifically, we’re asking you to become a Ms. Partner.
Ms. Partners are a select, dedicated group of Ms. readers and activists who commit to making a special gift to drive our work and support our independent, feminist media in these uncertain times. We will recognize you as a Ms. Partner by printing your name in a nationally-issued special Anniversary Edition of Ms. magazine this fall.
For as little as $15 per month, you can join a select group of Ms. readers and activists. Your Ms. Partner donation is tax-deductible and ensures Ms. can continue to meet the challenges of these times.
Here at Ms., we’ll keep providing up-to-the minute reporting on the COVID-19 global health crisis—both in the magazine and online at MsMagazine.com. We’ll salute our heroes and mourn those who are lost. Ms. will remain focused on aspects of the crisis not often reported by mainstream media: how this virus disproportionately impacts women, many of whom are on the front lines of this public health crisis. The vast majority of nurses, home health care workers and those who look after the elderly in nursing homes are women. So are the overwhelming majority of teachers, school counselors and school cafeteria workers, domestic workers and child care providers.
At the same time, we are expanding our unique election coverage and doing everything we can to keep our readers armed with factual information and strategies to mobilize women’s voting power in the critical upcoming elections. Ms. will, as always, report on what’s at stake for women and the country. We must keep a focus on the fight to enshrine the Equal Rights Amendment into the Constitution. Our team plans to continue reporting and truth-telling—but we can’t do it without your support. At a time like this, we need you and the Ms. community more than ever.
Just like public radio stations, we depend on our supporters and readers to keep Ms. strong. It's only with the support of dedicated individuals like you that Ms. can remain fiercely independent.
When you become a Ms. Partner, we’ll commemorate your devotion to equality by listing your name in a special section of our special 48th Anniversary Edition of Ms. this fall.
Reporting, Rebelling, & Truth-telling for Equality,
