Lacking Funding to Run RSN Now
It’s been more than a year of super poor fundraising returns and we are now running out of funds to meet RSN’s expenses. The last two months were a little better but we’re still not covering the costs.
A little more attention will fix this, but we need that now.
Thanks in advance to all.
