This collaboration will diversify the voices of folks covering the Capitol AND train youth to use their voices as community journalists.

Thank you to everyone who helped us triple our goal today! There’s still time to give - we’re going to try and reach $3500 before the end of the night. Give here! https://t.co/l4HEO0eNoS

And now we're $5 away from $3000! Who will put us over? https://t.co/T6weHx4C6V

The UpTake has nearly tripled its $1000 goal today (thanks to a generous supporter who dropped a check in the mail to us) - Because of you, we are just $55 short of $3000. We'd love your support in crossing that line. You can give here: https://t.co/T6weHx4C6V

We’re more than halfway to our goal of $1000 - give today and help us keep providing missing community-focused perspectives on political reporting!

With partners, our audience, community members, and even our own mission - what do we do, who do we do it for, and how do we want to do the work we do - b/c of that we’re even more excited for 2024. Help us get to $1000 to celebrate this #GTMD23 : https://t.co/Of8aW93dAV

This year The UpTake went deep into reflection and the beginnings of strategic planning! Following an incredible several months of legislative coverage that we are so proud of (over 1000 hours worth of coverage) we knew it was time to sit back and re-connect
