Dear
 Reader,
Resist junk food journalism. 
That is our clarion call for the FIRST THINGS 2022 Year-End Campaign . I hope you’ll contribute today. 
Of course, if you are receiving this email, you already are  resisting junk food journalism. As a reader of FIRST  THINGS, you recognize that the moralizing, click-bait, and limp prose of Junk Food Journalism Inc. will not satisfy.
  
More importantly, you recognize that we offer a more nourishing meal. Unlike these junk food proprietors, FIRST  THINGS —with its essays, reviews, and poems written by the leading lights of religious thought—is a sumptuous intellectual and spiritual feast.
Today, I ask you to consider deepening your involvement in our work by making a tax-deductible donation to FIRST THINGS.  To contribute, please visit our secure donation page  or click on the button below. |  |

Today marks the digital launch of the 2022 FIRST THINGS Year-End Campaign , which seeks to bring together 1,200 readers like you  to give $800,000  by December 31 . On this occasion, we invite you to take your seat at the FIRST  THINGS  table and exhort others to join us.
