The American Prospect needs serious $ help!
I thought I'd chime in and mention that the great liberal/progressive magazine The American Prospect is in serious need of $$$ help. Nothing would make me sadder than to see another invaluable source of great progressive and often feminist writing bite the dust. If you love that magazine and don't want to see it and its website go away, please go over to http://prospect.org and donate whatever amount you can, so it meets its goals by the end of the month and thrives on ahead featuring more great progressive and feminist writing.
It's Cesar.
