Thank you for showing up in 2020!
We still have a lot of money left to raise by Thursday, but we'll spare you the high-minded talk about journalism's urgent mission and opportunity right now. If Mother Jones' reporting helped you make even just a little bit of sense out of a year unlike any other, please help us finish it the same way we all made it this far: strong, and as ready as we can be for what's ahead. Please support our team's work with a year-end gift if you can right now.
