Today’s Fundraising Pitch

Monika Bauerlein,
CEO

Dear Reader,

The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising. We need to raise $300,000 quickly, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been. Please learn more in "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," where we go into the brutal economics of journalism, and what makes Mother Jones unique and worth supporting if you can right now.

Hey, guess what? It’s fundraising season again! Why now? I guess the thinking is that you’ve already got your wallets out to support the candidates of your choice right about now, so why not donate to the media of your choice while you’re at it? Maybe Mother Jones, for example?

A few dollars helps support this blog, and also helps support reporting like Karen Greenberg’s story today that a federal judge has officially decided that, yes, torture is illegal. (There’s more to the story than that, though, so go read it. You’re paying for it, after all. Aren’t you?)

So: please help us out. This blog, along with the rest of the vast Mother Jones empire, only gets part of its funding from advertising and magazine subscriptions. Like every other progressive magazine, we also need reader contributions. Click here for PayPal or here to donate by credit card. Thanks!
