Mother Jones Needs Your Help
Journalism is in trouble, and we need to be more upfront with you about how hard it is keeping Mother Jones afloat. We also need to raise $253,000 in online donations quickly, by October 7. This is a legitimately urgent moment, in a financially uncertain, high-stakes year. And we unpack it all as matter-of-factly as we can because readers told us to give it to you straight. We can't come up short again. Please help keep Mother Jones charging hard with a donation of any amount today.
