Have a problem? Oh yes, you do.

Corporate malfeasance comes in many forms, some of them downright annoying. We want to know what’s bugging you, the conscious consumer. What kinds of pointless, perplexing, or perturbing company policies or products leave you scratching your head? We’re looking for examples of hype, hypocrisy, greenwashing, and just plain bad business. Tell us a specific company or product that deserves to be called out, and if we select it, we’ll try to squeeze a satisfactory answer out of the corporate flacks so you don’t have to. We’ll tell you what we find in an upcoming issue of Mother Jones, plus send you Mother Jones swag.

WE'LL BE BLUNT:

We need to start raising significantly more in donations from our online community of readers, especially from those who read Mother Jones regularly but have never decided to pitch in because you figured others always will. We also need long-time and new donors, everyone, to keep showing up for us.

In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we explain, as matter-of-factly as we can, what exactly our finances look like, how brutal it is to sustain quality journalism right now, what makes Mother Jones different than most of the news out there, and why support from readers is the only thing that keeps us going. Despite the challenges, we're optimistic we can increase the share of online readers who decide to donate—starting with hitting an ambitious $300,000 goal in just three weeks to make sure we can finish our fiscal year break-even in the coming months.

Please learn more about how Mother Jones works and our 47-year history of doing nonprofit journalism that you don't find elsewhere—and help us do it with a donation if you can. We've already cut expenses and hitting our online goal is critical right now.
