Dear CounterPunchers,
We are just 1/4 away from reaching our modest fund drive goal. For those of you that already have donated, we thank you greatly. Without your support and generosity, CounterPunch would cease to exist. We know for many more of you, you rely on CounterPunch but don’t have the means to support us financially. We understand and appreciate your continued readership. But for those that have not yet donated, but read CounterPunch often, we hope you will consider donating. Our operational expenses are growing faster than we can keep up with.
No amount is too small. Your donations allow us to run the site free of sponsors, ads or clickbait. We believe this enhances your experience on our site. CounterPunch is truly independent media. Let’s keep it that way.
During the fund drive, we get loads of feedback from our readers and our haters (who still peruse our pages). Some of you tell us about your reading habits; others offer congratulations and thanks. Some send us wishlists – both editorial and operational. CounterPunchers are a diverse bunch and we appreciate the feedback. Still, we get as many complaints that our fund drive is “annoying”– we’re called all sorts of nasty shit (we can take it) and told that the fund drive is off-putting and worse, while some tell us they’ll never read CounterPunch again because we’re trying to “force” them to donate. The fund drive can seem interminable – we think so, too! We do apologize for this,…
