CAN YOU MATCH OUR SMALL DONORS! - We have hundreds of working people with very limited resources giving to keep this project afloat. So far we have precious few larger donors for February. A large reason why we are behind. Is there some one out there who can give $1,000.? It would go a long way towards matching the efforts of those who are giving a portion of their household budgets. By doing so you allow Reader Supported News to continue providing services to those who need them most. We have the working left, we need the some help from the more fortunate left. Sincerely. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News

Sure, I'll make a donation!
