I don’t think we have a great readership, I know for a fact that we do. They are prestigious, influential, creatively gifted and deeply concerned about the social and political landscape.
We also have a - serious problem. Simply put, funding the organization is too difficult. Certainly far more difficult than it needs to be.
We can do better, and now would be a damn good time.

(The plan is sponsored by the US House of Representatives’ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the longtime environmental advocate and Senator Ed Markey, and is known as the Green New Deal.)
