OUR FUND RAISING DRIVE IS A DISASTER

CC News Letter 01 August - OUR FUND RAISING DRIVE IS A DISASTER
Dear Friend of Countercurrents.org,

Our annual fund raising drive is a disaster! Our call was to 2500 of our readers to support our effort financially by making an annual subscription of Rs. 1000. Only 70 people responded! Really saddening and disheartening. I hope  Rs 1000 is not too much of an amount to ask for to sustain an initiative like Countercurrents.org. In this age when media conglomerates decide what we eat, drink, and think, Countercurrents brings a counter voice to the mainstream media propaganda.  We don't take advertisements and we never will. We will never ever sell or compromise our journalism to the corporate agenda which the mainstream media do on a daily basis.

As I said in the previous mail Countercurrents.org is making a giant leap in the 13 years of its history. We are broadening. The main aim is to take the politics and vision of Countercurrents.org to people who do not access internet. We will be Publishing books, produce videos, facilitate video screenings etc. Countercurrents.org is already a co-producer of a video documentary on Kandhamal violence which will be coming out shortly. To facilitate this Countercurrents.org has brought on board K.P. Sasi, eminent film maker, writer and social activist as Associate Editor. Together, we will take Countercurrents.org to new heights.

To accomplish this vision I quit my day job. The salary from my day job was the mainstay of the income that sustained Countercurrents.org for the past 13 years. I did this with the confidence that Countercurrents.org readers will wholeheartedly support our endeavor. Sadly it is not happening. The very readers I counted upon are abandoning me.  Kindly come forward and help Countercurrents.org. Please don't think that others will keep Countercurrents going. It is YOU who must keep Countercurrents going. So kindly come forward and do what you can.

Countercurrents.org in its 13 years of history has produced over 20,000 articles on various topics that threaten the very existence of human life and lives of other species on earth, enough material to fill a large library. The fight has to go on, for us and for our future generations.

Those who join our subscription program will be members of an exclusive email group and will receive a special news letter.
