A Desperate Attempt to End This Fundraiser
We are at 12 days of fundraising for February and we barely raised 15K. In the past we have raised nearly that much in - a single day.
I have to do everything in my power to end this fundraiser.
We need to you to help. This is "Reader Supported News." It's what we do and it works.
We need you to turn your attention to the February funding drive.
Please.
