We Need a Good September Fundraiser

In August we had more donors than any other month in 2019, we also raised the least money. Basically, more love, less money. We’re going to make a big push to get back on track in September. Please put something aside for RSN!

In solidarity,

But I must have been imagining all that, because Donald Trump assures me that New York is beset by “anarchy, violence and destruction.”
