25 March 19 PM It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DONATING NOW: THANK YOU! - Just want to take a moment to give a special shoutout to the people who are responding to the donation appeals for this drive. When it’s tough sledding, the people who step up are the backbone of the organization. This is one tough fundraising drive, make no mistake about it. But 464 people so far have said Reader Supported News is worth my time and my contribution. That is inspiring. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!
