Save Bitch Magazine!
If you do one thing today, please, make a vote in support of independent publishing by supporting Bitch Magazine. Bitch needs to raise $40,000 in the next few weeks, and I know it can be done with your support.
As you know, Clamor, the magazine that I co-founded and poured my life into for seven years, folded in 2006, followed closely by LiP, The NewStandard, Punk Planet, Herbivore, Kitchen Sink, and many others. Bitch is one of our few surviving peer magazines, I am asking you to make a donation today to insure that Bitch keeps publishing.
Bitch not only has a great mission and solid content, the magazine is a welcome oasis of critical analysis and serves as one of the few media outlets accessible to new and emerging writers — a crucial role in maintaining a vibrant and independent media.
Over the last few months I have supported the magazine by donating thousands of dollars of volunteer time, and today I made a donation of $250. I hope that you will do the same, at whatever your capacity – whether it’s $5 or $5,000.
You can donate by going to this link: http://bitchmagazine.org/donate/give-now
And you can view the magazine’s announcement here: http://bitchmagazine.org/post/bitchs-fate-is-in-your-hands
Please forward this announcement widely.

Bitch reached their goal of $40,000 in less than a week just a week ago today. I still cannot believe it and they are indeed so very thankful for all the support they received in such a critical time. But it is very important that the donations keep rolling on in to ensure their continued survival. I would not be as interested in social justice and supporting independent media as I am now, if it were not for this magazine. It changed my life in so many ways I cannot count. So … keep on keeping on … in order for Bitch (and other remaining independent media -whether it be print, blog, broadcast, podcast, whatever … ) to survive and thrive!
