Thank you for your support

Thank you! Eleven days ago, we launched our Femininomenon! Urbanism campaign, and we've already raised $2,000.  

This is our third newsletter since launching on November 6. In that time, we’ve published 28 stories, including five short videos. We’ve also created a TikTok page, a BlueSky account, a Facebook page, a Linkedin Page, and are gearing up to launch a YouTube channel.  

Right now, due to time and budget constraints, we’re focusing on narrative pieces—opinion-driven articles that spark important conversations. While this is crucial work, we also want to bring you straightforward, fact-driven news. We believe factual reporting remains essential in a landscape dominated by thought-confirmation echo chambers. We're also excited to start a podcast soon. The money we've raised, along with your paid subscriptions, will to make of this possible.  

Word of mouth is another powerful way to support us. Share our stories with others and help us grow this community.
