Fall Fund, Friend, and Hell Raiser

Twice a year we ask three things of this community, and only one of them costs money.

Fundraise: Independent media runs on the people who consume it or it doesn’t run at all. No corporate backing, no billionaire benefactors, no ad deals with the institutions we spend our time criticizing. Memberships pay for the research, the production, and the campaigns—and they’re the reason nobody gets to tell us what to soften.

Friend Raise: Not everyone can open their wallet, and that’s never been the price of admission. Subscribe on YouTube. Forward the newsletter to the person in your life who’s almost there. Post about us on whatever platform you haven’t abandoned yet. The system counts on you being isolated and quiet, and every share is a crack in that.

Hell Raise: Listening and learning is the start, not the finish. Get involved with the 5 Non-Negotiables. Show up to the school board meeting the politicians assume you’ll skip. No podcast replaces actual people doing actual work in their actual communities.

Fundraise

Grab some UNFTR merch or a bag of our Native roasted Unf*cking Coffee (now 10% off through November)! And shop our Bookshop.org storefront for must-read titles.

Hell Raise

 

The real unf*cking happens when people get up and do something. No podcast, however well-researched, replaces actual people taking action in their actual communities.

Get involved with the 5 Non-Negotiables. Download the policy briefs, use the email templates, and tell your representatives that Housing First, Civilian Labor Corps, Medicare for All, Election Integrity, and Climate Action are non-negotiable.

Get local. School boards and city councils are where decisions affecting your life get made. Show up. 

Call and email your reps. Yes, it feels futile. Volume matters. Be the pain in their ass they remember by name.

Meet people where they are. Start with rising rent, healthcare bills, and schools. Progressive ideas land when they aren’t wrapped in jargon.

Boycott the bad actors. Your dollars are votes.
