UPDATED: 153 Badass Members & Donors!
In 2022 we launched an experiment, creating the Changemakers Alliance (CALL) to go deeper on storytelling about long-simmering issues. The CALL Chronicles newsletter quickly grew to more than 1,000 subscribers.
On September 1, we launched the Badass Membership Community, to help us grow statewide faster, listed here by virtue of past and present pledges. We also publicly thank the Boosters who randomly gave in 2023 when we asked. [We update this list the first week of each month. If you have questions, or prefer to be anonymous, contact Fariba@womenspress.com]
As “Media That Makes a Difference,” in healthy collaboration with powerful, everyday Minnesotans, we look forward to sharing stories we are developing in the coming months because of this ongoing support.
Our goal is 250 Badass members by years-end, which will lead to a great in-person and live-streaming event of members on April 13, 2023.
We are more than halfway there! See details at womenspress.com/be-a-badass
