Hi Peter,

We’re in the home stretch of our summer crowdfunding campaign, so I’m reaching out one last time with our pitch. I want you to know what you’re making possible when you give to Phoenix New Times.

Local news supports the entire community. Accurate, independent information empowers people. In turn, empowered people make cities like ours stronger and more connected.

Your support keeps that mission humming.

With just 2 days to go, we have a new $10,000 goal! New Times members have already contributed more than $7,000 — can you help us hit our new goal to provide even more coverage of current events when it’s needed most?

The money we raise during our summer crowdfunding campaign lets us invest in covering critical stories unfolding right now. It also allows us to bank for our future — to hiring more freelance writers, photographers or illustrators. In almost every case, we spend that money on people who live and work in the Valley, so an investment in New Times is an investment in the creative community of Phoenix at large.

If you’ve already given this summer — thank you. Truly. I hope you feel some reflected glow when you read our coverage. If you’re in a position to give more, or to share our campaign with a friend, it would mean the world.

With gratitude,

Sam Eifling
Editor-in-Chief
