Monika Bauerlein, CEO
Dear reader,
"Billionaires Are Not the Answer:" That's my new column, where I unpack what's at stake for our democracy as power concentrates into fewer and fewer hands. I hope you'll give it a read and that you'll help build an alternative where the rest of us have a say by supporting Mother Jones' journalism with a year-end gift today. We have an ambitious $600,000 fundraising goal this month, and we can't afford to come up short for 2020.
In "Billionaires Are Not the Answer," Mother Jones CEO Monika Bauerlein explains why we need to raise $600,000 heading into 2020. Please join us with a year-end gift today.
Continuing our water theme for the week, these are the lovely green hills of Irvine right now. In the background is Saddleback Mountain rising out of the mist. The little orange dot at center left is the Great Park balloon. For locals, this picture was taken early in the morning from my favorite Saddleback viewing spot near the top of Turtle Rock.
TOMORROW: Silverado Creek.
