Before the Year Ends, Step Inside

This window closes soon — and 2026 starts without it.

Cliff Schecter and Blue Amp
Dec 29

Friends,

As we head into the final days of 2025, I want to speak directly to the readers who’ve been with us — opening, reading, following the work, and watching Blue Amp take shape.

This moment matters more than it might look from the outside.

The people who join before the year ends aren’t just supporting journalism — they’re becoming part of the group that carries Blue Amp into its next phase. The conversations we have, the stories we prioritize, the investigations we take on in 2026 are all shaped by who’s inside now.

Help us build for 2026 - and save 75%

That’s why we’re keeping open what we’re calling The 2026 Build-In Offer for just a little longer.

For the final days of 2025, you can join at a special year-end rate:

  • $19.99 for the full year

  • $2.50 per month

Two simple ways to step inside. Same access. Same mission.

👉 Join Blue Amp at the 2025 rate—and help us build for 2026

If you’ve been reading and thinking, “I like this, I believe in this, I’ll probably join at some point,” this is the point where waiting stops making sense.

January won’t look like this.
This rate won’t exist.
And the people shaping what Blue Amp Media becomes next year will already be inside.

We don’t need everyone.
We need enough people who care to help us carry this forward.

If that’s you, I’d be proud to have you with us.

— Cliff

P.S. This year-end rate closes on December 31. After that, we move into 2026 focused on the work — with the community that stepped in before this door closed.
