Dear Portside Culture reader,  

We as a nation have been tested by four years of frontal assault on
our democratic institutions and rights and devastating attacks on our
economic well-being. This has been a gangster presidency without
precedent, and its deadly consequences continue to mount. 

The danger of a fascist-like regime consolidating its power has been
averted. For now. But make no mistake: The issue of whether we will
move forward or be dragged into an abyss has been postponed, not
decided.  

We at Portside are convinced that we cannot go back. We must shape a
vision to achieve a society beyond capitalism, one based on social and
economic justice, racial and gender equality. _WE MUST ADVANCE TOWARD
A TRULY MULTIRACIAL, INCLUSIVE, RADICAL DEMOCRACY OR WE WILL HAVE NO
DEMOCRACY AT ALL._

We work to sustain our souls in these trying times; to keep us all
safe in the midst of a pandemic; and to help knit together the
movement that will secure our future. Every day we search the Internet
for useful and truthful reporting, incisive argument, uplifting humor.
We side with science and reality against the forces of unreason,
humanism  against cruelty and hate. We look for every action that
leads us toward disarmament and away from Armageddon. Every demand for
protection of the biosphere and a sustainable future. Every day, we
share the best that we find with you. 

As you probably know, we moderators of Portside work on an entirely
volunteer basis. We are motivated by a vision of a better future, of a
just social order. The kind of vision that powers the grassroots
movements demanding radical, systemic change that have swept the
country this year. We're a movement project, with no ties to corporate
money - or any party or organization, for that matter. It’s you and
us. 

We pledge to keep doing what we've been doing. We ask you to help us
by donating to keep our servers running and our website current.

We hope you keep up with our posts every day
[[link removed]], covering news, politics, culture,
labor and other material of interest to people on the left. 

We just celebrated 20 years of Portside. Twenty years! Twenty years
working day after day, year after year without missing a beat. But to
be honest, we are not complaining of exhaustion because we are
invigorated by our work and inspired by the movements that have grown.
In fact, our crew of volunteer moderators has grown. We’ve added new
features to our coverage. We’ve incorporated new media technologies.
We are delighted how the Portside family has been reinforced by
thousands of new readers. More people who recommend or comment on
material and more authors who submit their writings for consideration.
Together we are dedicated to serving as your eyes and ears in the
digital universe. Keep sending your input to
either [email protected] or reader comments
[[link removed]].) 

And please make a contribution to keep this project going. We promise
to make every donation go a long way toward the future we seek
together. We don’t ask our readers for financial support often. To
be a part of this and to keep this project going strong, this is the
time to support Portside.
