With the signing of a new climate accord in Paris, world leaders boldly turned the page on the fossil fuel era and opened a new, uncertain chapter. As the hard work of reducing global emissions begins, The Tyee asks you to join us in creating sustainable future for independent media, too.
Three weeks ago, we launched a campaign to increase our monthly supporter base to $20,000. With less than 24 hours left, there's still time to become a monthly Tyee Builder.
So far Tyee readers have added nearly $50,000 to our annual budget in one-time and monthly contributions -- a huge win for independent media. Thank you to everyone who has given, shared the campaign with friends, and sent words of encouragement.
When our monthly supporter base grows, we edge closer to a truly sustainable business model which has yet to exist in Canada. For years now, our readers have been an increasing piece of The Tyee's funding pie. We dream of a day when reader support makes up the biggest slice.
Because when citizens -- not corporate investors -- are in the driver's seat, we can focus on what matters most to Canadians, employ top-notch reporters and keep our stories free and available to everyone. Join us by becoming a Tyee Builder today.
This is a new era for Canadians, and we can't afford to be idle. We have a new federal government that needs to be held accountable. British Columbia, The Tyee's focus for more than a decade, has a provincial election on the horizon. And as the ink dries on the newly-signed Paris Agreement, independent media will play a crucial role in lighting the way to a post-carbon economy.
Canadians deserve to get information delivered and analyzed by a news source they can trust. If you haven't already, join over 1,000 Tyee Builders today and help us get closer to our target.
Pledge before midnight tonight and show that independent media is here to stay.
