John,

First, thank you for continued support for COURIER and our mission and for reading this email today. We couldn’t do any of this without you. Now here’s the hard part.

Last night we came up short of our September fundraising goal.

We’ll be honest with you: we can’t keep funding this work if this keeps happening. Grassroots support isn’t just part of COURIER’s budget — it is COURIER’s budget.

And what that support makes possible couldn’t be more urgent right now:

* Expanding new newsrooms in battleground states where local media is disappearing and right-wing propaganda is spreading.
* Supporting our staff of reporters on the ground who are covering the stories and perspectives the legacy media won’t.
* Reaching millions online every week with our national coverage on TikTok, Instagram, and all of the other social media platforms where MAGA is dominating.
* In a moment when local news is shuttering and national outlets are pulling punches, we can’t let COURIER disappear too.

If you believe this country needs a progressive, independent media network strong enough to hold Trump and MAGA accountable, please make a donation today: [[link removed]]

Missing one goal is tough, but missing several in a row would force painful choices about how many reporters we can keep on staff, how many local stories go untold, and how much disinformation goes unchallenged.

We don’t want to scale back — we want to keep growing. So please, can you donate today to help us start October on the right foot?

In solidarity,
