“Wanting” RSN to Survive is Not Enough

This is not CNN, we don’t have ‘other ways’ of cashing in on your attendance. If we did we would be just like them and, you are here because you are done with that.

Wanting RSN to continue to do good work is not enough. Honest news requires the support and participation of the community it serves.

In case you haven’t noticed we are jumping through hoops for your donation.

Give us a few dollars to work with.

WAITING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO DONATE: Yesterday twenty thousand people visited RSN, 12 donated. There is no way on earth we can sustain that. Impossible. Obviously if people are coming but not donating then those who are not donating must believe someone else will. Don't wait for someone else to be the one ... be the one. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News

The August 2017 order from his commanding officer was clear, Pvt. Myo Win Tun said in video testimony. “Shoot all you see and all you hear.”

He said he obeyed, taking part in the massacre of 30 Rohingya Muslims and burying them in a mass grave near a cell tower and a military base.
