Jack, I need to be up-front with you: I’m worried.
We’re almost halfway through the month, and right now we’re only at 34% of our fundraising goal. While many Daily Kos readers and community members have stepped up over the past few days, we’re still falling behind—and if nothing changes, we’re on pace to miss our goal.
Why is this so concerning? Donations from Daily Kos readers are our largest source of revenue.
Daily Kos is different by design. Over 80% of our revenue comes from tens of thousands of readers and activists donating just a few dollars at a time. That’s what keeps us independent. It’s what keeps us accountable to you—not to corporate advertisers, hedge funds, or billionaire backers.
Advertising revenue hasn't been able to cover the cost of operations for more than a decade. Without donations from thousands of supporters of just a few dollars at a time, we can't continue producing the quality of work you have come to expect and trust.
Jack, can you help us and support Daily Kos by donating $5 today?
