Jack,

The Daily Kos community—you!—has stood tall as we continue our fight against
the Department of Justice’s attack. That fight isn’t over—but thanks to your
support, we’re holding the line.

Now, a second major battle looms: the long-term survival of Daily Kos itself.

After more than 15 years on a custom-built publishing system—one that’s
costly, brittle, and vulnerable to attack (foreign and domestic)—it’s holding
us back and threatening everything we’ve built.

We’re finally moving to WordPress, the platform trusted by The Nation, Rolling
Stone, and Vox. This isn’t just a tech upgrade. It’s a transformation. One that
will:

✅ Improve site stability, security, and accessibility
✅ Cut our operating costs dramatically
✅ Expand our reach to platforms like Apple News
✅ Lay the foundation to grow Daily Kos for the next 20 years

We’ve hired a vendor. Work begins in August. The new site launches early 2025.
But here’s the truth:

⚠️ If we don’t raise the funds, we can’t finish this project
⚠️ And if we don’t finish, Daily Kos won’t survive much longer

This is the most important infrastructure campaign in our history—and we need
your help. Will you chip in to help fund the future Daily Kos?

We’re still fighting the DOJ. But if we don’t fix our platform, we may not be
here to finish that fight—or any other.

This is our moment to safeguard Daily Kos for the long haul. You stepped up
when the DOJ came knocking. Now we need you again—to help us build something
built to last.

Keep fighting,
Markos Moulitsas
Founder, Daily Kos

P.S. The DOJ was a wake-up call. Independent media is under threat. This
rebuild is how we fight back—and win!
