Dear Portside Culture Reader,

THE THREAT TO THE SURVIVAL OF OUR DEMOCRACY IS CLEAR: A WOULD-BE
DICTATOR AND A CULTIST POLITICAL PARTY. A revenge mythology. A rabid
propaganda apparatus. A growing violent and racist extra-legal
movement. They aim to eviscerate the house of democracy from within
while assaulting it from without. 

We’re sounding an alarm, but we are not alarmist. These times call
for steadfastness, mobilization and vision, not panic. At Portside, we
remain convinced that A TRULY MULTIRACIAL, INCLUSIVE, RADICAL
DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT THAT HAS A VISION BEYOND CAPITALISM is the key to
defeating the forces of reaction and racism and to moving forward.

As someone who subscribes to a Portside list
[[link removed]] or visits the Portside website
[[link removed]], you know that we walk the walk ... day in and
day out. WE KNOW THAT ACTIONS LARGE AND SMALL CAN ADD UP TO A MIGHTY
WAVE. Every day we aim to provide you and other readers real world
evidence of struggles, in our country and globally, to secure our
future and ways to join the struggle. Once a year we ask you to help
us do that.

[[link removed]]

We work to sustain our souls in these trying times. To put the
pandemic behind us. 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, with 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 earth 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.

Last year we celebrated 20 years of Portside. Twenty years! Day after
day, 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 [[link removed]] 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. If you want to be a part of this project and
to keep it going strong, this is the time to support Portside.
