There’s no getting around it: Portland has had it rough this year! That’s why it’s crucially important that our city has the Mercury in its corner, providing the smart, progressive journalism that holds the powerful accountable and protects those who need it most.

So this holiday season, why not give yourself and Portland the gift of the Mercury? You can even gift it to a friend! Make a contribution in their name, and we’ll send them a personalized thank you note.

Your contribution is a sure-fire way to make sure we can continue covering the stories and issues you care about most: police accountability, city hall, homeless advocacy, the LGBTQ+ community, public transportation, racial justice, and more. And don’t forget all the fun stuff we bring you on a regular basis, including our fantastic events calendar, streaming shows, food and music reviews, random acts of comedy, and all the other stuff that made 2020 a bit more bearable!

All these things cannot and will not happen without one critical thing: your support. So if you’re able, do yourself (and Portland) a favor this holiday season by making a contribution to the Mercury—and we’ll keep fighting for you through 2021 and beyond.

Happy holidays, friends. We truly adore you.
