/ monthI don't discriminate against you, O supporter of little means! Giving just $1 a month makes you a supporter. All supporters get invited to my regular chat room sessions—we'll call them "office hours." While everyone can email me story ideas and concerns, you're who I want to shoot the sh-- with, since you believe enough in me to support me. Also, when I release stuff, I’ll send you links: to my big stories, small followups, and soon-to-come series of YouTube process videos.
$2
/ monthAt $2 a month, you're taking a significant step toward ensuring I can do journalism work full-time. For much of my life, I would regularly reconsider every monthly subscription more expensive than this. So I’m right there with you. In addition to all the benefits of being a supporter, my $2 folks get either a bumper sticker or bike-bag-button (your choice) that reads “I read journalists who care about all people.”
$3
/ monthAt $3, you can join my book club (called “Need-to-know: A woke book club”) if you’re so inclined. We read one book a month from the list at this link, and meet in Chicago to discuss them. And all previous “rewards.” https://goo.gl/7PnEn1

Goals
$18.06 of $875 per month
My goal is to reach 250 supporters. I don't care so much about how much you're giving. Just give an amount you won't have to revisit when you're trying to cull expenses in the future. I want this relationship to last a long time. If commitments averaged $3.50 per month, 250 folks would be giving $875 monthly.
