Dear Reader,
December is make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising. We have a $350,000 goal that we simply cannot afford to miss. And in "No Cute Headlines or Manipulative BS," we explain, as matter-of-fact as we can, how being a nonprofit means everything to us. Bottom line: Donations big and small make up 74 percent of our budget this year and are urgently needed this month, and all online gifts will be matched and go twice as far until we hit our goal. Please pitch in if you can right now.
December is make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and in "No Cute Headlines or Manipulative BS," we hope that giving it to you as matter-of-fact as we can will work to raise the $350,000 we need to raise this month. Donations make up 74 percent of our budget this year, and all online gifts will be matched and go twice as far until we hit our goal.
Here’s the coronavirus death toll through September 15. The raw data from Johns Hopkins is here.
The United States recorded an unusually bad day on Tuesday with 1,422 deaths. This produced a big uptick in our death rate and makes our weeklong rise look a little more real. We just don’t seem to have the discipline to maintain social distancing measures long enough to get ourselves down close to zero.

Stunning video. Fearless conversations.
