I Need Three Minutes Of Your Time Today
Twice a year we ask for your help to keep TPM alive and thriving. Today is one of those days. This is very, very important to our entire operation. We have just launched our annual TPM membership campaign. We do this because TPM chronicles – generates and records revenue – our ongoing national crisis and we cannot do it without increasing our subscriber base. If you are a TPM reader but not a member (see below if you are a member!), take advantage of this moment to join us by becoming a member. Maybe you were a member and your membership has expired. We need you to come back and become a paying member. We benefit from a 25% discount for the entire duration of the journey.
What if you are a member? We also need your help. First, you can upgrade your membership. You can upgrade from a Prime account to a Prime AF account or from Prime AF to Inside. But you can also add something else, perhaps the most important. We currently have around 35,000 members. This represents 35,000 potential ambassadors to new readers and new members. Many of you know people who are on the periphery of the TPM community but are not members. Perhaps they are full readers of TPM but not members. We do not expect anyone to make individual sales pitches on our behalf. But it’s a huge boost if you go on your social media and let people know about TPM and our drive. Are you on Bluesky? Talk to us on Bluesky – or Facebook or even Twitter. Tell people what you love about TPM and how memberships fund our entire operations.
We were able to see in concrete terms during the year the crucial role of independent media when democracy is grappling with the rise of authoritarianism. No media organization owned by a large, diverse corporation can be independent. They are too vulnerable to a rogue president. They have too many carrots and sticks. We are different. We answer to no one other than our readers and our values. This makes what we do essential at a time like this. As I wrote above, we are chronicling the national crisis of democracy in America. Please help us do this work.
