John,
We’re in the final 48 hours of the year, and we want to ask respectfully for a moment of your time.
Here’s why:
As of today, we’re still nearly $12,000 short of our year-end goal. What happens in the next two days will determine how strong COURIER’s reporting can be as we begin a critical election year.
Here’s what your support allows us to do going into the midterms:
- Midterm battleground reporting in the states and communities where next year’s election will be decided and misinformation is spreading the fastest
- Rapid-response journalism that pushes back with a HUGE social reach when MAGA tries to gin up propaganda, conspiracies, and hate
- The ability to stay independent, accessible, and free — without paywalls or corporate pressure getting us to change our coverage
This isn’t abstract. Year-end support determines our capacity in the early months ahead — when the news cycle won’t slow down and when clear, fact-based reporting will matter just as much as it does now.
A contribution of $25 before midnight helps ensure COURIER enters 2026 strong.
Whether you give today, later, or simply keep reading and supporting our work, thank you. You are the reason COURIER exists — and the reason we keep showing up when it matters most.
With gratitude,
The COURIER Team
