Dan Rather | We Are Stronger When We Are Confronting Our Struggles Together





Reader Supported News

Maybe it was something we said after the last month’s funding drive. A note of optimism that gave the false impression that because we said “thank you” RSN was financially secure forever? Hardly.
We are confronted with the same intense struggle for basic funding this month that we face every month, albeit worse now than at any time in the past.
Reasonable donations fix this. Nothing else does.
Chip-in.
