On this Giving Tuesday, help us make significant progress towards our goal as a way to help more of these young liberal writers. With another $30,000, we'll be a full third of the way to our goal, one and a half weeks into our campaign. Let's do this. gofund.me/a693b9559

Part of our original, core mission was to find undiscovered young, liberal talent, and help magnify their voices. If you help us meet our goal, we will keep doing that, and their voices will carry further than ever before. gofund.me/a693b9559

In the early days we took it as a great sign when we were no longer able to afford a young writer we had previously published because their career was taking off. We've grown a lot since then, and can increasingly publish writers at all stages of their career gofund.me/a693b9559

We've heard it many times. A talented young writer trying to break into the industry struggles to make traction. They get published in Liberal Currents, and suddenly the bigger publications start entertaining their pitches. gofund.me/a693b9559

We’ve received almost $90,000 on GoFundMe. Through direct donations and new patron signups last week, we received close to $39,000. Between the two we’ve reached 26% of our goal. Let’s keep the momentum going and reach 33% by midweek! gofund.me/259eba2d6

At present, nearly 100% of our funding goes straight to our writers.
But in 2025, that isn’t enough.
We need full-time staff dedicated to pursuing our core mission as effectively as possible. And we need to make some major one-time investments to get us there: www.gofundme.com/f/the-libera...

Liberal Currents will never hand it to a man likely to kill untold number of children with his anti-vaccine anti-science crank activism from HHS. We will never throw trans people under the bus to score political points. Help elevate our voice to compete with The Atlantic’s gofund.me/bc470b67b

Yesterday a donor pledged to match our second $35,000, meaning that once we hit $70,000, he would pay us an additional $35,000. In just two days, we have hit that threshold. Thank you to everyone who made this possible. With the match, we'll be at 21% of the way to our goal, in just two days.

As masked thugs kidnap people in broad daylight, as the military is sent into U.S. cities, as the press is under assault, the owner of the 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘠𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 proudly proclaimed: “We’re not the resistance. We are nobody’s opposition.”
