MOTHER JONES NEEDS YOUR HELP

We need to raise $390,000 in online donations by June 30 to finish our fiscal year break even. We’ve already cut everything we can. We cannot afford to come up short. It's tough right now. And there’s more about why this is so urgent and the big, entirely fixable challenge journalism faces in “News Never Pays,” or in this primer about our nonprofit journalism and finances. If you can right now, please pitch in at whatever level works for you. We need more help than normal this month.
