Our Paid Subscriber to Free Subscriber ratio is too low for long-term sustainability. WE NEED HUNDREDS MORE, especially in this political climate. Misinformation funded by the deep pockets of our Oligarchy floods the internet. We are using all our platforms on-air, online, and in publications to counter that. We ask that you invest the equivalent of less than a coffee to ensure we can keep doing this. Please invest in a Democracy that serves all of us by becoming a paid subscriber. It comes with many benefits.
