I don’t want to be a downer, but to state the obvious: We’re living through a turbulent time. Among attacks on democratic norms and basic freedoms, I’m deeply concerned to see billionaire-owned and corporate media buckle under pressure to censor and limit speech.
A free press is an essential part of our country, and local media is critical to the health of our communities. These critical functions drive MinnPost’s nonprofit newsroom, and our community-funded model ensures that we’re a bulwark against the erosion of press freedoms.
But a critical piece of that working is you.
Donations we get from regular folks like you are critical to our work, including our ability to serve all Minnesotans with paywall-free journalism. Can we count on you to be an essential part of our team and protect the vital role MinnPost and a free and fearless press play in civic life?
Even in the face of these unprecedented challenges, our team at MinnPost is here to be your trusted guide to what’s going on and empower you to be a part of shaping the future.
If you believe in that, any amount of support you can contribute to make it possible is critical.
P.S. Being a 501(c)3 is just an IRS designation. It’s a commitment to centering our community and serving their needs, not financial interest. I hope you’ll join us to be a part of that work as a member. Any amount makes a huge difference.
