 23 September 19 Donated Because it Matters
It may sound generic or cliche but I donated because it matters. I'm just a grad student at UCLA not making much money yet, so I only give what I can but every little bit makes a difference.
Without our contributions, Reader Supported News cannot persist and without independent, reader supported groups like RSN, big, corporate owned and sponsored news wins and that would be a big loss for "We The People".
This is what the founders of our country had in mind, not big media and misinformation giants like Fox News. I really hope that more and more RSN readers and the media consuming American public in general come to realize.
Your reader truly,
Nicholas, RSN Reader-Supporter

Ayman Odeh | We Are Ending Netanyahu's Grip on Israel
Ayman Odeh, The New York Times
Odeh writes: "The Arab Palestinian citizens of Israel have chosen to reject Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his politics of fear and hate, the inequality and division he advanced for the past decade.

Schaffer writes: "Sandy Hook Promise, the foundation led by the parents of students killed in the 2012 school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, have released a PSA today that quickly went viral."
The clip is not the first PSA from Sandy Hook Promise to go viral. In 2016, the group’s “Evan” video, which demonstrated how the warning signs of someone planning a school shooting could hide in plain sight, amassed over 11 million views on YouTube. They’ve since released several similar videos over the past three years.
Since the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting, over 400 people have been shot in over 200 school shootings nationwide, according to a New York Times report, using data from the Gun Violence Archive. This past month, student activists and survivors from the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, unveiled an ambitious gun control and reform program for 2020.
