Jack, we wanted to follow up on the email we sent about the serious financial pressure facing Daily Kos right now.

As ad revenue across the news industry continues to shrink, reader support has become essential to keeping our work going. Small donations from people like you are what allow us to stay independent and accountable—especially in moments like this.

Can you donate $5 today to help Daily Kos weather this ongoing revenue decline?

P.S. In case you didn’t see it, here’s the email we sent yesterday:

Jack, I need to be honest with you: Daily Kos is under real financial pressure right now. When our fundraising falls short, it directly threatens our ability to keep the lights on and continue our work.

Nearly 80% of our revenue comes from small-dollar donations from readers like you. We don’t have corporate sponsors or wealthy backers to bail us out. When grassroots support slows—even briefly—we feel it immediately.

February has just begun, and we’re already behind where we need to be. If that doesn’t change, tough decisions follow.

If you’re able, please make a $5 donation right now to help stabilize Daily Kos and keep us stay alive. Small donations are the difference between staying strong and falling further behind.

Thank you for standing with us when it matters most,

Daily Kos
