We knew we wanted to focus on the news that mattered: the climate catastrophe, the dangers of nuclear weapons, the failures of capitalism, and the threats to our democracy. No sensationalism, no fluff, and no clickbait. We knew we wanted it to be high-quality, produced daily and freely available—and free—to all. We knew it would take a small team of professionals to provide high-quality information 365-days a year. But how would we fund it? We would rely on people-power. We would find thousands of small contributors, provide them with a quality product and trust that the progressive community would have our back as we moved forward. And it worked! Now over 50,000 individuals have pitched in to help keep us publishing and moving forward. Relying on small contributions from our readers not only guarantees us the independence to speak truth to power, but it helps us keep in touch with—and responsive to—our growing community of supporters. Every few months we launch brief fundraising drives which provide us with most of our annual budget. Today we are launching our critical Spring Campaign.
