It’s our birthday month, and like many of us do on our birthdays, we’re making wishes for the year ahead.
Our wish this year? To build up our community of progressive journalists and increase our coverage of the news and views you’ve come to rely on us for.
For the past 24 years, we’ve been committed to providing news for the people, offering a progressive perspective on the issues that matter most. From witnessing the rise of neo-conservatism during the Harper Years to our ongoing coverage of the 2025 Federal Election, rabble has been at the forefront of Canadian news for nearly a quarter of a century.
Since our founding in 2001, independent media that speaks truth to power has only grown more essential. In a time when corporate-controlled outlets often prioritize profit over people, reliable, unbiased journalism has never been more critical. This is why we must continue to evolve and expand, ensuring that our coverage remains bold, relevant, and sustainable.
To do that, we are raising funds to support our growth and amplify our impact.
Our dedicated team has identified a range of important stories and issues we plan to cover, but to do so effectively, we need the resources to support this work. Your support is the key to making these goals a reality and to ensuring that rabble continues to serve as an essential, independent voice in Canadian journalism.
With your help, we can continue to provide the vital, community-driven reporting that speaks truth to power.
Every dollar we receive empowers us to report on the issues you care about – including the Federal Election, the path to reconciliation, climate change, reproductive justice, and the impacts Trump’s tariffs are having on labour in Canada.
With your support, we can increase this coverage and grow a larger team of progressive journalists. Over the next year, we’re aiming to:
- hire two national politics reporters and editors;
- hire an Indigenous affairs reporter;
- grow our podcasts production team;
- and improve our social media vision and strategy.
Times are unpredictable, and independent journalism in Canada is under threat. For those able to contribute, there’s no better investment than supporting free, accessible, and non-corporate media.
If you are not already a monthly donor and are in the position to become one, we welcome contributions at any level. We are also delighted to receive one-time donations. As our team sees it, each dollar donated by a rabble-rousing reader is an investment in the future of Canada’s democracy.
After all, knowledge is the basis of empowered activism.
Yours in solidarity,
Sarah Sahagian (she/her)
Executive director / publisher
