Well worth supporting.
We've got one week left on our fundraiser and 3000 reasons to support the best little trans news site on the internet:
MATCHING FUNDS! That's right, two of the best friends a news site could have will match donations up to $3000
Your gift, twice as powerful. Imagine.

One small thing you can do *right now* — donate $5, $10, $50, whatever you're able — to this rent fund for South Minneapolis daycare workers whose families are sheltering in place. Can we raise $5k today??
Whatever you can give matters. And if you can't give, can you share?

If you need inspiration to keep going right now, may I recommend the story of Robert Smalls, who stole a confederate steamboat and piloted his family and almost 20 others to freedom and went on to become one of the first Black people elected to Congress ✊🏽

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

We've published deeply on Cuba, Venezuela, and US policy toward Latin America, and as these issues return to the headlines, history matters more than ever. Authors: if you’ve written on this topic, drop your book title + link below and let's build a thread that helps make sense of this moment.

It would be pretty cool if we all collectively pledged to support indie bookshops whenever/however we could 💕
Depending on budget & accessibility, that could look like visiting them in person, leaving a review, amplifying their social posts, giving gift cards, divesting from mega retailers, etc.
