"What hooks me? Forums that provide a voice to people and communities that never get the mic passed their way." -- Lynn Coady
At The Tyee, we agree that everyone should have a chance to voice their opinion. That's one of the principles we've built our publication on: since 2003, The Tyee has "published viewpoints banished from corporate media and shined a light on corners of the province Big Media ignores. We've provided a showcase for young talent and a forum for readers who post their opinions after our stories." We want to continue doing this -- and even increase our capacity -- but we need your help.
We're asking you today to join Lynn and the rest of the Tyee Builders in helping make The Tyee sustainable. For as little as $5 a month, you can help ensure that our news magazine continues its swim against the current of mainstream news. If you give $15 a month or more, you can have a signed copy of Lynn's award-winning novel, The Antagonists.Click on the button below to find out more and to sign up now.
