It's #GivingTuesday
and I'm psyched to put @Chicago_Reader at the top of my annual thread of local non-profit media orgs! We're still transitioning to 501c3 but your gift will help us survive as we've lost 90% of ad revenue since the start of the pandemic! http://ChicagoReader.com/donate

We also have a 

store where you can buy sweet sweet Reader merch to help support us too! http://chicagoreader.com/store



Here are some other amazing media orgs working to keep you informed and those in power accountable. (Add more in the comments if I miss anyone!)
