To help celebrate rabble’s 15th anniversary we’re giving our supporters some great gifts from Michael Moore and author Lawrence Hill. Find out how you can help build a new era in independent media!
Author Lawrence Hill’s new book The Illegal, although fictional, delivers a much-needed dose of truth about the international refugee crisis. If you haven’t read it yet, you should. And we’re going to help you with that. Visit our donation page here to find out how.
In The Illegal Hill takes on the most important issues of the day — race, gender, sexuality, human rights, refugees — on a universal level that elevates his book from relevant to influential. Every day we learn of a worsening global refugee crisis. Stories of displaced lives, people on the run, in harrowing, dangerous, and deadly conditions. They’re heading for the wealthiest countries for the safety and opportunities that were handed out to past generations. Few of us can fathom the scale of this crisis. Even fewer are moved to do something. How do we make people care? We know the answer: by writing about it, by sharing ideas, and changing the conversation — something we at rabble aim to do every day.
That’s why, on the occasion of rabble’s 15th anniversary, we’re offering copies of The Illegal to our supporters. We asked Lawrence Hill himself why rabble is worth supporting and here’s what he had to say:
“rabble provokes and prods and makes us question our own country and how it works. rabble rousing is a great service. It stimulates democracy and free thought! The writers and editors of rabble have embarked on a vigorous path of challenging and cajoling Canadians. We need more of the same.”
This is a special occasion and we know we’re asking for a lot. So that’s why we’re offering more than ever before to our supporters. For our 15th anniversary we’re asking you to give $15/month (or increase your current contribution to $15/month). In exchange we’ll give you Hill’s book and our own 15th anniversary edition of the best of rabble. This is the price of keeping Canada’s oldest independent media institution alive. Think about it: $15 is probably what you’re already spending on a few lattes every month.
$15 might be too much for you. For rabble, no donation is too small. We need and appreciate whatever amount you can give right now.
However, we need all of those who can to make a special contribution of $15/month to help us build a better rabble.ca and hire the next generation of young, talented writers, tell the stories that need to be told, and share the ideas that will make a more just, equal, and progressive world.
