Dear Mercury readers:

Guess what? YOU are an essential part of what we do. Simply put, without recurring monthly contributions from readers like you, it's impossible to provide the high quality journalism that protects the marginalized and holds the powerful accountable. We've all seen what happens to communities when reporting disappears and falsehoods take root. So if you believe our mission is important and necessary, please consider a small monthly contribution to the Mercury, and we'll keep working hard for you and those who need it most!

Thanks, we appreciate you!
