The New Yorker and The Economist

Unless you’ve been hiding in your nuclear bunker, you are probably aware of this week’s huge public backlash against President Donald Trump. For the past few days, Trump has blamed counter-protestors at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., for some of the violence that ultimately led to a young woman’s death. He later on Twitter praised the beauty of the statues honoring Confederate leaders that sparked the rallies in the first place.

Contributions are a key part of the future of Vox

Readers rely on Vox for clear, nuanced coverage that not only illuminates the issues, but poses solutions, too. And we rely on help from our readers: Advertising and grants cover the majority of our costs, but we count on contributions to help us close the gaps in our budget. In fact, we’re looking to reach 95,000 individual contributions before the end of the year. Will you make the next contribution right now? Our average gift is just $20 — and it goes a long way in helping us keep our work free. Vox is here to help everyone understand what’s shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. Join that mission by making a contribution today.

Yes, I'll give $5/month
