Alt News is ₹10 lakh short of breaking even this financial year.
We need 2,000 people to donate ₹500 each before March 31. That's 6 days.
Fighting misinformation isn't like putting out a fire. There's no moment when it's done. It's a fact-check every morning, a verification every afternoon, documentation of hate speech that nobody else is recording - day after day, year after year, for nine years.
We don't take ads. We don't have sponsors. We have readers.
Donate before March 31!
