We Are Going to Fight for Funding Now
We cannot ignore the need for basic funding. RSN is 100% Reader Supported - there are no other sources. When donations are insufficient bad things happen quickly.
The time has come to fight for funding the same way we fight all our other battles.
Glad you’re here. Give us a hand.
