We have just six days left in our End-of-Year Campaign — our most important fundraising campaign of the year.

Friend ,

Earlier today, we sent an email updating our readers on our financial situation with less than a week to go in our crucial year-end fundraising drive.

The short story is that we need to raise $100,000 before midnight on December 31 to fund our news operations in the year ahead, and at this point, we’re not on pace to make it.

We know how hard this year has been for many of you. We understand that you may not be able to donate as much as you have in the past or as much as you’d like. However, to continue publishing the hard-hitting and independent news you rely on, we need everyone to chip in whatever they can.

We don’t have a secret billionaire or corporate investors to fall back on if reader donations fall short. But that’s the way we like it. We believe in the power of people—and that means believing in you.

The clock is ticking on this vital End-of-Year Campaign, and we can’t afford to fall short. So please chip in today, whatever you can. No donation is too small (or too large). Every single gift makes all the difference.
