Fundraiser for the Virginia Defender, the only statewide progressive newspaper

The Virginia Defender, the all-volunteer community newspaper published by my organization, the Defenders for Freedom, Justice & Equality, is holding a fundraiser! As is always the case, none of the money goes to an individual: we're all donating our time and talents to put news and analysis out there. The money goes straight to the printer. Our Autumn 2017 issue is going to focus on the history of Richmond's confederate monuments (which we've been calling to take down since 2006) and the history of Shockoe Bottom, once the center of the domestic slave trade.

We were there in Charlottesville last Saturday, and you can read our report, with pics and video, at our website (defendersfje.blogspot.com/).

To donate, see this link.
