52 Reasons to Support the Indypendent!
Dear Friend,
2012 has been a memorable year and at The Indypendent we have been busier than ever – covering grassroots movements that are changing the world, exploring big ideas that help us see the world anew and bringing forward the voices and the lived experiences of those who struggle for justice and dignity outside the eye of the mainstream media.
Below are 52 of our best stories from 2012 – one for each week of the year – from Hurricane Sandy and the rebirth of the Occupy movement to grassroots struggles for justice across New York City and around the world. We hope you enjoy reliving 2012 through the pages of the Indy as much as we did. Heading into 2013, we look forward to doing more great work, but we need your support now.
Can you give $25, $50, $100 or more? We count on readers like you for half of our annual revenues. Whatever gift you make is a tremendous help .
Thank you for your generous support,
