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.

Next week (god willing) we’ll be relaunching MotherJones.com. Gone will be the cluttered layout that you see here and the clunky code that we deal with. If you’d like to take a sneak peek, and along the way help us with load testing and bug targeting, go to http://practice.motherjones.com. You’ll be asked for a login and password. That’s mojo/fearless (all lower case). Once you’re in the site, you can read about why we did what we did, poke around, register and pimp out your profile, etc. Please bear in mind, however, that:

1) Your username will stay valid after the new site launches, so choose wisely…
2) Content is a few weeks out of date, and some old comments have yet to migrate too. Don’t worry, we’ll get the latest articles and all the comments moved over when we launch.
3) Comments you leave on the beta site will be overwritten when we switch over. Please do leave comments and try out the discussion system, just remember that if you’ve written any great pearls of wisdom, you should save a copy elsewhere.
4) Any questions, bug reports, or general input about the site, please leave a comment on our inaugural blog post, or email us at web-feedback@motherjones.com.

Eager to hear what you have to say. (And yes, we know it’s slow, we’re running compression programs…)
