URGENT FUNDRAISING REQUEST:

Our fall fundraising drive is off to a rough start, and we very much need to raise 400,000 in the next couple of weeks. If you value the journalism you get from Mother Jones, please help us do it with a donation today. We can't afford to come up short, and there's still a long way to go by November 5.

$1,350,000
