Dear Friend of In These Times,
For In These Times to reach its 33rd year of independent, progressive reporting and analysis, we need your help. Donations have fallen sharply in recent months as many of our readers have retrenched during the recession. This worries me. In These Times is a nonprofit news publication sustained by our community of donors. Contributions make up 70 percent of our income.
Because we operate on a very lean budget, even a small percentage decrease in donations has a large effect on our ability to publish. Our survival depends on the generosity of readers like you—and never more so than during these hard times.
Sustaining progressive periodicals like In These Times is crucial in these challenging times. The mainstream media will predictably construct conservative and centrist narratives of the recession. We need independent media like In These Times to offer an alternative, progressive framework of news and analysis. Your donation to In These Times will help us reach our 33rd year of reporting news the mainstream media ignores, and advocating reforms their corporate owners oppose.
You can donate today by using our secure, online donation form, by calling us at (773) 772-0100, or by sending a check to In These Times, 2040 N. Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60647.
Thank you for your vital contribution.
In solidarity,
Joel Bleifuss, Editor and Publisher
