I need to be up front with you, Jack: Daily Kos didn't reach our fundraising goal in December—this is the third month in a row that we missed our monthly goal. Now we are on track to miss our January fundraising goal too.

The past couple of years, we have seen two of our three revenue streams decline. We have to make up that difference to continue producing the quality of content and impactful actions you have come to expect from us. We increased our monthly fundraising goals this year because we really had no other choice.

Grassroots donations—averaging just $9.44—now account for 80% of our total income. In order to accomplish our mission, hit our goals, and continue producing the content and actions you trust, we need your help.

I know many of us are feeling the squeeze of the cost of living. But if you can, please support Daily Kos with a donation of $5—or $9.44 today.
