Hi there,

Today, we're kicking off our year-end supporter drive to bring in 100 new monthly financial supporters who will help sustain our community-powered journalism.

I’m reaching out to THANK YOU for your continued support of this local news service. 

Your contributions this year brought award-winning local stories to light that wouldn’t have been told otherwise.

As supporter Laurie M. put it: "The need for independent journalism is paramount."

We won’t be sending you any more emails throughout the campaign, but we wanted to invite you to increase your monthly contribution to cover inflation.

If you can’t increase your monthly support right now, we totally get it. Will you invite a friend who might want to follow this independent journalism service? 

Thank you again for being a part of this community. 

Truly, I tear up when I think of the groundswell of readers and supporters who — together — make this kind of journalism possible.

With gratitude,
