As one of our cherished newsletter subscribers, you’re familiar with the work we do at DAME. You understand the value of our mission in building a more equitable media landscape. And how essential it is to report on the issues through the lens of those most impacted.
And because you’re here, you also know that we’re living through a uniquely complicated moment. We’re facing events that are deeply discomforting and let’s be honest, often frightening.
But we also know that there are stories of hope and optimism that must be told. Our role is to report on the influences and drivers of all of these moments together with the systems and people behind them. And to give you the facts and information to arm you and serve as an antidote to the fearmongering.
Today we’re urgently asking for your support to help us keep publishing. In 2023, the work we do isn’t just important, it’s critical. Here’s just a snapshot of what, with your help, we can accomplish this year and beyond:
☀️The Optimist’s Guide: a new brand rooted in realistic positivity .
📰 Ambitious reporting on some of the most-pressing issues facing humanity, like environmental and housing injustice, disinformation, mental health, and protecting the right to vote.
🎙 Podcasts that dig deep and deconstruct pressing issues .
🗳 2024 election coverage that ignores the DC intrigue and horserace coverage, instead focusing on what’s at stake at the ballot.
🤝 And more ways to connect with YOU—from online communities to targeted newsletters that deliver the information you want most .
But we won’t be able to achieve our ambitious and necessary plans without your financial support. Your recurring contribution of just $5 per month allows us to confidentially commit to the kinds of deep investigative reporting, solutions-focused service journalism, and actionable insights that will help you navigate these complex times. And with your support, we can keep this critical service free from a paywall.
Join DAME now for $5, $10, $15 or whatever amount you can do to help us reach our goal of 2500 new supporters. Your membership says that you believe in our mission to serve you and your community.
On behalf of the team, thank you so much! Jennifer Reitman
