The media you see here is free, both in the sense that you are not paying for it, but also in that it serves as a place to exchange free speech. This speech is not mediated by corporate sponsors. If you find it compelling, please support this project as we build new media for free culture in Brooklyn.
As little as $5 goes a long way as we build our new infrastructure without venture capitalists, grants, traditional media or sponsorships. This project is totally DIY and donations are tax-deductible.
