Outside South Wallingford, Vermont— For those following at home, here’s a quick look at where the route has taken us so far. I’m driving through Vermont today, where I’ll be considering such weighty questions as, “what is Ethan Allen’s legacy in the 21st century?” and “Did people really think maple syrup could bring an end to the slave trade?”

HERE’S WHERE YOU COME IN

We’ll say it loud and clear: No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
