We can do better than this, for sure.

We can have a powerful, influential publication that serves the community, or we can have nothing. It's a thin line. "We the community" often get less because we accept less. Enough of that. Watch us fight, you fight too. Step up with what you can afford, watch what we do with it. In peace and solidarity. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!
