Friend,
I just looked at the progress report from our fundraising team on this our pre-election Summer Fundraising Campaign.
I'll be honest. I'm worried.
We're almost halfway through our Summer Fundraising Campaign, and we're only 35% of the way to our goal. Meanwhile, we've seen an uptick the number of people canceling their monthly recurring donations--contributions that we count on for future planning as a foundation of support.
Look, we understand completely that we're living through an unprecedented economic crisis. With 50 million Americans unemployed and the worst economy since the 1940s, we know that many of you who believe just as deeply in nonprofit journalism as we do simply aren't able to donate or give as much at this time.
But this is our very last fundraising campaign before we make final decisions about allocating resources for the November election.
If we fall short now, we will have to look at cost-cutting leading up to the most dangerous presidential election we've ever seen, with Donald Trump using the full power of his office to suppress the vote, sabotage the Postal Service, and set the stage for refusing to leave office if he loses in November.
Donate now to help reach our Summer Fundraising Campaign goal of $80,000 by September 1 and make sure our team of political reporters have all the resources and backing they need to watchdog everything Trump does to undermine our democracy.
