Dear Friend,
This is a pivotal moment for democracy. We are winning. The recent election results that have swung blue in recent elections are proof that the pro-democracy community—you—are making a massive difference. You are part of a movement that is pushing back against the forces seeking to dismantle our democratic institutions.
But here is the sobering truth: we cannot take these wins for granted.
The fight for democracy is not an election-year event; it is a year-round campaign against a powerful, well-funded machine. The forces working to destroy our democracy have billions of dollars and a sophisticated, non-stop media apparatus designed to spread disinformation and erode checks and balances. We, the defenders of democracy, don’t have those same billions. We only have each other.
As a valued free subscriber, we’re urging you to upgrade now. We will soon be paywalling our most popular content to generate the necessary revenue for informing and mobilizing Americans for the upcoming midterms. Upgrade today and lock in a 40% savings on our annual subscription rate for life (only 16 cents a day) for all-access to Lincoln Square! You can cancel at any time. Can we count on you?
Your Upgrade is the Ammunition We Need
Lincoln Square is an independent media company dedicated to disseminating the facts, providing expert analysis, and fighting the disinformation that has weakened our democracy on the very platforms where Americans consume their news.
For less than the cost of a monthly Netflix subscription, your decision to upgrade your free subscription today is a direct investment in this fight for our democracy.
Here’s why your support is critically important right now:
Amplify the Facts: A portion of your subscription revenue is immediately dedicated to paid ads that reach the unconvinced, the inattentive, and those living in key red and swing states. This is how we push the facts—via news graphics and short-form video, onto the platforms where the MAGA media machine has been most destructive.
Get Smarter About This Moment: Your subscription helps us fund the in-depth commentary and strategic analysis from our expert strategists on the Lincoln Square Substack. This isn’t just news commentary, it’s the intelligence we need to counter a well-organized opposition and build winning strategies year-round. This expert commentary is packaged into content for social media that informs and mobilizes voters, building winning strategies for us year-round.
24/7 Advocacy: Your paid upgrade fuels LINCOLN SQUARE ACTION—our new platform for voter mobilization. Your support helps us simplify complex issues and gives you one-click access to demand that your elected officials oppose all policies that erode the rights and progress we’ve achieved in this country.
Counter the Corruption and Hate: The opposition’s agenda is clear: an erosion of our rights, the dehumanization of immigrants, the dismantling of the federal government, and a lack of regard for regular Americans. Your upgrade allows us to mobilize citizens to stand up to this corruption and elect the officials we all deserve.
We Have 11 Months to Solidify Victory
Our recent wins give us incredible momentum, but those funding the fascist future for America know they are behind, and they will pour every dollar they have into key races to reverse this trend. The 2026 midterms are just 11 months away, and we must make sure they become the final nail in the coffin for the disastrous capitulation by Congress that has eroded our rights.
To turn up our efforts and have the funds necessary to inform and mobilize millions, we will be paywalling more of our content starting in 2025. This is a strategic necessity to ensure we can sustain and expand our efforts to defend democracy.
We have no one coming to our rescue. This is a battle for the soul of our nation, and we must fight it together. The stakes are too high to take these wins for granted.
Can we count on you to upgrade your subscription today for less than 16 cents a day? Please join us in this essential, year-round fight.
With deep gratitude for your commitment to democracy,
The Lincoln Square Team
