Good afternoon,
Thank you for being a loyal reader of Gotham Gazette and our daily Eye-Opener newsletter. As editor since March of 2014, I hope you’ve seen improvement at the publication over the last two-plus years. The whole Gotham Gazette team is working extremely hard to ensure that we are living up to our mission: to educate New Yorkers about city and state politics, create more transparency, and hold government accountable.
While our product is as strong as its been in the 17-year history of the publication, we need your support to keep it going. Will you make a tax-deductible donation to Gotham Gazette today?
Gotham Gazette is a nonprofit, nonpartisan publication with limited advertising and no subscription fees. We have a small, but mighty team. In order to continue bringing you in-depth reporting, the Eye-Opener, our election guides, and more, we need reader support. Please give what you can - $25, $50, $100, or more - to Citizens Union Foundation for Gotham Gazette today.
We’ve just kicked off our summer fundraising appeal and we need to raise $25,000 over the next 30 days. The quality of our work, readership of Gotham Gazette, and the impact we’re having on the public discourse are all up significantly - I hope you’ve noticed. But, we need your help to make sure that we can keep doing what we do.
As a reader you know that Gotham Gazette covers City Hall and the state Capitol like no one else. We consistently bring attention to a wide variety of issues often not covered by other publications - issues you care about, like government ethics (or the lack thereof), billions of dollars of city and state budget spending, City Council legislation, a wide variety of policy initiatives, and more.
We truly rely on our readers and supporters to keep us going. Please contribute what you can today and help publish Gotham Gazette. We are counting on you.
Thank you for reading Gotham Gazette. I appreciate any gift you can make today. I also am always open to hearing your feedback and suggestions. You can email me any time at bmax@gothamgazette.com.
