Frida Berrigan | Gunning Down the Easter Bunny: The Weaponization of Everyday Life

Image
16 April 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News THE ROAD TO URGENT FUNDRAISING - We are rapidly moving in the direction of having to go "urgent" on our fundraising appeals. And the situation will in fact be urgent because we are not getting the support of 1% of our Readers on a monthly basis. Let's review: All we need is one out of every hundred readers to donate in any given month and we are set. We get into a dire situation when we get less than that. To make matters even worse, the people who are most likely to donate are the ones who can least afford it. Honestly, if they can do it, everybody who reads RSN should.

27 March 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News IGNORING FUNDING WILL NOT WORK: You can ignore the funding requests, but it will quickly create a funding crisis. A successful funding drive requires roughly 750 donations @ an average of $30. 700 readers visit RSN every thirty minutes. That's unfair. Help. Please. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!
