[Thank You!]
Last week, the very generous readers of Real Change delivered another $9,150 in year-end donations to close our holiday fund drive at $72,751 raised since Nov. 1. This is an amazing show of support. It’s been said before, but it’s true. The quality alternative journalism. The opportunity we offer to more than 250 vendors each month. The effective organizing and advocacy to end poverty. We couldn’t do it without you. It’s not too late to help put us over the top to our $80,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible contribution at our Make a Gift page to make your gift now. You make it all happen.
