Rousings of spring

Dear Farhad,

I can finally see and hear the rousings of spring.  

In our neck of the woods, the daffodils are at last showing their color. The sound of birds is getting louder every morning. The buds on the lilacs are growing. There is the sense that, yes, someday soon, we can put the winter clothes away.

It’s a time when we feel a sense of renewal. But it’s quite easy to get down during a long winter. It’s also easy to feel under darkness when we read, day after day, of war and suffering. Yet there are also moments when we are renewed and recharged -- news of workers standing together and demanding their rights, people pushing for healthcare for all, groups calling for more sustainable agriculture. We bring you news of all this, 365 days a year.

You can help us renew our commitment to bring you the news you count on every day.

Spring has always felt to me a time when anything is possible. We can’t do anything, though, without you. We need your help to complete our Spring Fundraising Campaign. With batteries recharged for another season ahead, we’re anxious to get back to the work at hand.

With thanks for your readership and support,

Andrea Germanos, Assistant Editor

PS. We only need $8000 more to make our campaign goal. Can you give today?
