Hey, friends, you may not know this, but ReWire News Group is a nonprofit newsroom, meaning we rely on donations from folks like you to power our coverage.

That's right. Last Friday, we kicked off our most important annual fundraiser, our end-of-year campaign, and we're asking you, dear Law Nerd, to be a part of it.

We've set an ambitious goal of $40,000 and we're pretty sure we can reach it,

but you have to help us reach that goal by making a new monthly donation or a one-time gift.

Your donations will help keep our content free and accessible to everyone. So visit www.
