As we move deeper into the second half of 2023, the ongoing struggle for democracy remains a critical focus for many Americans. The year has unfolded with significant challenges, including a rise in misinformation, pervasive corruption, and escalating violence. Amid these tumultuous times, Senate Republicans are working diligently to obstruct even the most popular legislative measures proposed under President Biden’s leadership. The economic landscape is fraught with challenges, as rising prices impact everyday citizens, and questions surrounding civil rights loom large.
In the face of these adversities, a coalition of dedicated Americans is mobilizing to advocate for fair representation and to counter the increasing threat of authoritarianism. The importance of a free and independent press has never been more pronounced. Despite facing substantial hurdles, the journalism industry continues to seek integrity and truth, with many organizations relying on their loyal readership to sustain their operations in a difficult environment.
Raw Story, a steadfast provider of investigative journalism, expresses deep appreciation for its community of over 5,000 subscribers. The commitment of readers, donors, and supporters is paramount to ensuring the viability of the newsroom during these critical times. The organization emphasizes that every contribution, whether through subscriptions or donations, plays an essential role in fostering responsible journalism.
For those contemplating support, a contribution of $10 or more monthly, or a one-time donation of $95 or more, provides access to exclusive ad-free content and advanced insights into original reporting from Raw Story and AlterNet. For individuals preferring to make a one-time donation, options are available, including traditional methods such as check payments directed to Raw Story Media, Inc., ensuring that support can be extended in various forms.
The financial backing received is strategically allocated towards original investigative reporting and the development of the RawStory+ Membership Program, reinforcing the organization’s mission to deliver substantive and important news coverage. While donations are not tax-deductible, the impact of such contributions is significant, assisting in the ongoing fight for truth and transparency in a pivotal era for American democracy.
