This is the days we finalize decisions for our upcoming year’s budget — incl money we plan to allocate to illustrations, freelance work, research, and more key expenses.

I mentioned that I'd have been lost without The Downballot this year.
But there are really 2 outlets that fit that description for me.
The other is @boltsmag.org (I can't mention one w/out mentioning the other).
Just an amazing resource, and so worthy of a donation:

I didn’t know about this! 👇🏾
a PSA: most nonprofit newsrooms right now are probably participating in the NewsMatch program RIGHT NOW. That’s a program funded by a few foundations that “matches” your end-of-year donation.
If you set up $10 monthly, that literally unlocks $120 from NewsMatch.
So who could you support?
