Dear Friend,
This has been quite a turbulent time. We all hoped for a different outcome on Election Day, but here we are, ready to confront more chaos, conflict and bigotry from a president-elect bent on demolition. It’s why some among us have chosen to disengage from politics altogether.
But if you’re reading this, that doesn’t include you: You recognize what’s at stake if we don’t resist the coming onslaught, together. I am grateful if you are a long-time reader or you have recently joined the America, America community—in fact, we are growing at an accelerated pace.
The level of engagement for my essay the day after the election about what we do now was heartening. I hope some of you found it helpful as you thought through what “forward” looks like. I also was heartened by the engagement of last Saturday’s prompt, “What Are You Qualified to Do?”—particularly because the 230-plus comments demonstrated how interesting this community is and how robust we can be if more of you become paid subscribers and participate in the ongoing dialogue throughout the week.
So with that in mind—and recognizing that Thanksgiving is coming this week—I am offering a special 25% discount for the next two days. That’s $37.50 for the year, which translates to just over $3 a month. Let’s call it a Thank You discount for being a part of this community.
You can be sure that I will continue to confront the dangers in our midst, speak truth to power, and highlight the good and crucial work of those who are pushing back. This is not a time to be fearful or doubt our capacity to influence the future (yes, some fearful critics are already changing their tune.) And you can be sure that I will be working as hard as I can to provide insight as this critical time in our nation’s history unfolds. That includes essays on Monday, Friday and Saturday, as well as periodic videos and other snapshot posts as reality dictates.
I hope you will take advantage of this discount and share your voice with our thoughtful, growing community. It matters.
(If you are on a fixed income, a teacher or a student, let me know and I’m happy to offer you an annual paid subscription at half price, no questions asked.)
Please know I appreciate each and every one of you, whether you’re a paid subscriber or not, for the incredible support you’ve shown America, America. I remain committed to the mission of America, America—to shining a spotlight on the dangers we face as a nation and the serious threats our democracy is continuing to confront, while also sharing stories and reflections that remind us of our better selves and what’s possible.
Thank you for reading and sharing this work with others. We have quite a year ahead of us.
Upward and Onward,
Steven
