Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.

It’s that time of year again: fundraising season, when I ask you for a few dollars to help keep us going. Unlike some magazines, we’ve never tried to raise money by installing a paywall for our online content because we think it’s important to make our reporting as widely accessible as possible. Stories like the attempt by House Republicans to restrict abortions by redefining rape. (After a national outcry, the proposal was dropped.) Or how the Wisconsin governor’s union-busting was bankrolled by the secretive billionaire Koch brothers. (That story was picked up by the New York Times.) And our reporting and explainers on Egypt, Libya, and the broader Middle East have been hailed as “indispensable.”

But we still need help from our readers. If you appreciate our blogs, newsletters, and long form magazine pieces, please do your part and help us out. Your donation—any amount—will have a real impact on our work. Even $5 helps. Plus, it’s tax deductible. Please take a minute to donate via credit card or PayPal.

On a personal note, I’ve been at Mother Jones for a couple of years now, and I’ve been amazed at how far our online presence has come in that time. If you’re not checking it out on a regular basis, you’re really missing out. But it’s expensive to keep this kind of reporting going, and that’s why we’re asking for your help. Please donate today if you can. Thanks!

AN IMPORTANT UPDATE

We’re falling behind our online fundraising goals and we can’t sustain coming up short on donations month after month. Perhaps you’ve heard? It is impossibly hard in the news business right now, with layoffs intensifying and fancy new startups and funding going kaput.

The crisis facing journalism and democracy isn’t going away anytime soon. And neither is Mother Jones, our readers, or our unique way of doing in-depth reporting that exists to bring about change.

Which is exactly why, despite the challenges we face, we just took a big gulp and joined forces with the Center for Investigative Reporting, a team of ace journalists who create the amazing podcast and public radio show Reveal.

If you can part with even just a few bucks, please help us pick up the pace of donations. We simply can’t afford to keep falling behind on our fundraising targets month after month.

Editor-in-Chief Clara Jeffery said it well to our team recently, and that team 100 percent includes readers like you who make it all possible: “This is a year to prove that we can pull off this merger, grow our audiences and impact, attract more funding and keep growing. More broadly, it’s a year when the very future of both journalism and democracy is on the line. We have to go for every important story, every reader/listener/viewer, and leave it all on the field. I’m very proud of all the hard work that’s gotten us to this moment, and confident that we can meet it.”

Let’s do this. If you can right now, please support Mother Jones and investigative journalism with an urgently needed donation today.
