MAKE NO MISTAKE, WE WILL FIGHT FOR FUNDING - This is a great publication, with a wonderful Readership and a serious problem: funding. Before we will allow the organization to be jeopardized by the lack of a “reasonable” budget we will stand up and fight. We fight against external forms of injustice everyday. We are well aware of how to do it. So far for June 237 donors are keeping the ship afloat. Literally tens of thousands are ignoring the appeals. We need your help. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News

Sure, I'll make a donation!

FOLKS: WE ARE GETTING NO SUPPORT, AND IT’S NOT WORKING: In 8 days of fundraising we have raised barely 6.5K that puts RSN on track to out of business by January 1st. That’s the reality. Tens of thousands will visit RSN today and only a handful will donate. That: Will. Not. Work. You have to donate for rsn to survive. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News
