The stakes are high. We can have a powerful, influential publication - that serves the community, or we can have nothing. It's a thin line. "We the community" often get less, because we accept less. Enough of that.
The entire risk to you is ten dollars a month. The benefits are everything you see us doing on a daily basis, and potentially a whole lot more.
Your participation really matters here.
