Choose to Make a Difference
By Arthur I. Blaustein
The disaster in New Orleans makes at least one thing clear — the importance of serving our communities and being there for one another.

It’s a carnival of ineptitude! Come join the parade!

Surviving New Orleans
By David Enders

HERE’S WHERE YOU COME IN

We’ll say it loud and clear: No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
