Dear reader:
A week’s worth of news is an awful lot to digest. But here you have it.
In case you haven’t noticed, we’re into the final weeks of our fundraising campaign and if you are sick of the appeals, imagine how we feel. But we don’t want to be lost, we don’t want Colbert’s vision to become a reality.
And, neither do many of you. In the last year, 1,500 of you have donated to ML It’s the other 4,000 regular readers who have forgotten. So, here’s another reminder.
Stay safe,
— Lydia
