Reader Supported News is a post-industrial-meltdown organization. We are a lean organization with minimal overhead. Pretty much striped down for survival. We do not take corporate money and we are prepared to take less because of it. Still we are falling short on this fundraising drive. If you are not an active donor, and you believe in what we do, please get behind Reader Supported News with a contribution.
Thanks sincerely to all,
Marc Ash
