 "We feel a responsibility and a desire to speak out on behalf of the 97 million smokers in Europe.

There is a constant drumbeat on the issue that my smoke is hurting you. That is the principle we are working on, because it is not backed by the evidence.”

–David Greenberg, Vice President EU Corporate Affairs, Philip Morris Corporate Services, attempting to pass off their new ad campaign as a plea for smokers’ rights. [As quoted in the June 4, 1996 Reuter European Business Report.]

BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

December is make or break for us. A full one-third of our annual fundraising comes in this month alone. A strong December means our newsroom is on the beat and reporting at full strength. A weak one means budget cuts and hard choices ahead.

The December 31 deadline is closing in fast. To reach our $400,000 goal, we need readers who’ve never given before to join the ranks of MoJo donors. And we need our steadfast supporters to give again today—any amount.

Managing an independent, nonprofit newsroom is staggeringly hard. There’s no cushion in our budget—no backup revenue, no corporate safety net. We can’t afford to fall short, and we can’t rely on corporations or deep-pocketed interests to fund the fierce, investigative journalism Mother Jones exists to do.

That’s why we need you right now. Please chip in to help close the gap.
