As we approach the historic milestone of May Day, the People’s World 2026 fund drive is hitting its stride. We have a bold goal to raise $140,000, and thanks to your incredible solidarity, we’ve already surpassed the $95,000 mark. We are within striking distance, but the final stretch requires a foundation that lasts long after the banners are folded and the rallies conclude on May 1.
That is why we are issuing a specific challenge today: Become a monthly sustainer.
While one-time donations fuel our immediate coverage, monthly sustainers provide the strong foundations that support People’s World over the long term. This reliable income allows People’s World to plan further than tomorrow’s issue, helps expand our reporting, host special events (like the May Day Town Hall with labor leaders) and invest in the future of working-class media with the confidence of knowing exactly what our budget looks like.
Right now, the average People’s World monthly sustainer gives $21.83.
It’s a specific number, but it represents something massive: the collective power of everyday people keeping independent journalism alive. Today, we are asking you to look at that number and take the “Match it or Beat it” challenge.
- Can you match the average? $21.83 a month ensures we stay on the front lines of the struggles for peace, equality, and democracy.
- Can you beat the average? Whether it’s $25, $50, or $100 a month, your extra push helps cover the gap for those who can only chip in a few dollars.
Just go to PeoplesWorld.org/DONATE, enter your information, and select “Recurring.”
Are you already a sustainer and want to increase your monthly contribution? Just send an email to admin@peoplesworld.org.
We don’t answer to corporate boards or billionaire donors; we answer to you. By signing up as a monthly sustainer, you aren’t just making a donation—you are becoming a stakeholder in a movement.
Help us reach our $140,000 goal by May Day and build a permanent, sustainable voice for the working class. Will you match the $21.83 average today?
Thank you,
The Editors
