South African murder and attempted murder rates soar to almost 100 a day

(not good but news spin for more readers rather than understanding?) With 49 people killed every day, South Africa has been battling a reputation as one of the crime capitals of the world. Recent trends show that this state of affairs is not going to improve any time soon.

Will you put $5 on Feministing?

Feministing has a large and dedicated group of readers who are always big upping our work, and we’re incredibly grateful. But what we don’t have is the financial support to pay those of us doing the work. If everyone who read Feministing gave $5, we would be able to pay our writers the amount they truly deserve. We’d be able to bring on new voices–voices traditionally marginalized in the mainstream media that can’t afford to work for free. We have huge plans and visions for Feministing, but the reality is we need money to make them happen.

Last year Feministing turned ten, and thanks to many of you, we were able to redesign our site through a successful Kickstarter Campaign. We brought on brilliant new columnists who’ve written love letters to queer families in the wake of marriage equality, explained how sanctions were hurting Iranian women, and illuminated the current state of the KKK.

For eleven years we’ve been doing this work, and we need your help now more than ever.

We’re asking for $5 because we know everyone has bills to pay. Heck, we do too! Of course, if you can give more than $5 we appreciate that too, and that helps keep the site available for anyone who can’t give.

We believe in grassroots funding and we are grateful to have a large group of supporters who give what they can, when they can. We truly believe our relationship with our readers is a symbiotic one. We bring you the feminist news and analysis you rely on, and in turn, hopefully you’ll support us so we can keep doing that.

It’s clear that this work is as necessary as the day it began. In 2015 alone, presidential candidates are still struggling to grasp the concept that black lives matter. It seems that each week there is a new attack on abortion access. Simply put, we can’t keep bringing you coverage of these important issues and groundbreaking feminist thought without the funding to pay our hard working team.

But the good news is, it would only take a small amount from all our readers to make Feministing sustainable. We’re so grateful to those of you who are already donating. But we need all of you to keep the site going.

Will you put $5 on Feministing today?

Thank you!
