 11 July 19 This is a Process You Can Kill Through Indifference
Reader Supported News at its core must be sustained by the Readers, public funding. If you are going to truly serve the public interest then you must have public support.
You like the dedication to your interest. But many of you want to skip the support.
That can, and ultimately will, kill this process.
True power comes from the many, not from the few.
In peace and solidarity.

She "is a living fire alarm. A warning to the rest of us that we better change our immigration. Or else"
