Hello everyone :) I don't usually send out updates through the donorbox system as we usually handle that through our own email list. But since many people seem to be away this weekend and we still need to raise a bit more before month end, I am sending it through this method as well.
Please donate what you can, if you can, at https://donorbox.org/druthers
Or just email transfer us at: admin@druthers.net and we will manually add your donation to this fundraiser page.
We are still printing and distributing papers at just 10 cents each!! So every $100 we receive in donations allows us to print and distribute 1000 more papers all over this beautiful country through our volunteer network of thousands of passionate people, everywhere.
Please give generously and help support freedom of the press and keep the presses running. This is entirely people powered and we could not do this without your continued love and support.
P.S. Together we have printed and distributed over 12 MILLION papers to Canadians everywhere. That is certainly making a difference. Let's keep it going.
Much love to you all,
Shawn Jason
Wow, truly, wow. Since this project began in December of 2020 we have printed and freely distributed 4 million Druthers newspapers all across Canada!! This is astounding and it could not be happening without all your love & support.
Let's keep it going: www.donorbox.org/druthers
BANK ACCOUNT FROZEN - UPDATE
I'd like to let you know that all donations ARE making it to us. When our bank account was frozen because of raising money for the truckers, we quickly opened a new bank account at a new bank and redirected all flow into it. All is well with the new account and funds are arriving to us. So please know that your contributions to this fundraiser to help us print more papers is working, is important and is greatly appreciated.

Hello freedom family!!

2.) 12 Month Collector Pack
3.) Bulk Magazine Orders
4.) Expanded Paper Coming
5.) Druthers Music Video

1.) 3 Million Newspapers
Wow, 12 months since the inception of Druthers and we have already printed and freely distributed 3 million of these 12 page monthly newspapers, mostly across Canada, and a few into the USA too. To reach a circulation like that in our first year is truly an incredible feat and it wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for you! So much love and gratitude for the 1000's of donors, subscribers & distributors all across Canada for helping this happen month after month. We really are making a difference!
Let's keep it going. www.donorbox.org/druthers
2.) 12 Month Collectors Pack
One of the more popular questions we get asked is, "How do I order past copies?". Well, it's a pleasure to inform you that we are reprinting all of our first 12 issues of Druthers and shrink wrapping them into a special collectors pack. These will be shipping December 1st and only 2000 packs are being made, so if you want one, get it while you can! www.druthers.net/collectors-pack
3.) Bulk Magazine Orders
With the holiday season quickly approaching, we have had numerous people ask about bulk discounts on the first edition of Druthers magazine (you know we printed a magazine too, right?) so they can give them away as gifts during the holidays. So, while we do offer bulk pricing on the website already, we'd like to offer you an additional $100 discount on a box of 20 magazines. To take advantage of this limited time offer, add 20 magazines to your cart and enter the code BULKBOX20 during checkout. www.druthers.net/magazine
4.) Announcing: Expanded Druthers Newspaper
While a 12 page newspaper makes for a great giveaway item for planting seeds of thought, there is so much more to cover & explore that we just can't fit in a 12 page paper. So to bring you much more news and information, Druthers is aiming to create an additional 100 page paper each month and we intend to have the first issue ready for January 1st, 2022. With so many more pages to fill, we are looking for more writers to explore the deeper truths on a wide range of topics. If you are keen on doing some writing for Druthers, please hit reply and let us know.
5.) Druthers Music Video
Did you know we have a Druthers song now? And a music video too? If not, I think you'll really enjoy watching it :) This is a super cool track written by our freedom family brother, Double MC, and the video was filmed at Soulshine Festival 2021. Were you there? If so, you know what an mind blowing event it was! If you weren't there, this video will give you a small peek at all the warm vibes at this event. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOI_8q3nJ5g
Thank you for an absolutely astounding first year!! Canadians are rapidly waking up and I can't help but think that 3 million Druthers + 1000's of our Druthers brothers and sisters all across Canada are having a big hand in helping that come to be.

Big thanks & lots of love,
Shawn Jason & the Druthers Team
Hello all our freedom loving friends!
250,000 copies of the July issue were freely distributed all across Canada!2 quick updates for you...
First, a big thank you to everyone who has been pouring so much of themselves into this project with us. From people stepping up to be distribution hubs in their cities, to others helping stuff these papers into mailboxes all across the country, to those who are donating, promoting, writing & more. You are all awesome!!
So far in 8 months since this paper began we have printed and freely distributed nearly 1.7 million newspapers all across Canada. That is absolutely mind blowing and it certainly would not have happened without all your love and support.
Our biggest month was May when we printed 500,000 copies!
The last 2 months were smaller as the fundraising page slowed down, but we still printed 250,000 copies each of June & July. Now here we are fundraising for the August issue and as it stands now (just under $20k) we will only be printing 200,000 copies unless $5k more in donations come in over the next few days.
We really hope to not drop any lower than 250,000 copies as we have more than enough people all over the country eager to pass out papers, but we can only print as many as donations allow, and at 10 cents a paper, your donations go far toward waking up more Canadians!
So please come visit this fundraiser page and help us raise the last $5k needed to print 250k copies of the August issue. www.donorbox.org/druthers
Big thanks and lots of love.
Shawn Jason

EPIC VIDEO: A friend of Druthers named Pierce of The People's Media was at the right place at the right time to happen across Toronto's mayor John Tory having dinner on a patio in Toronto. It is really quite epic they way he gave Tory and earful and we thought you might enjoy it too. And if you do love it, please spread this video around.

All you beautiful people! Thank you for seeing bigger and pouring so much of yourselves into helping Druthers reach more Canadians.
Druthers is Canada's fastest growing newspaper, because mainstream media, sucks!
In just 3 months we have rallied a few hundred eager volunteer distributors across the country, we printed and freely distributed 175,000 copies of Druthers across Canada in 5 provinces so far, and we raised nearly $20,000 to accomplish this with.
And all this is from concerned Canadians who see the value, urgency & importance of putting real, honest news and information into the hands of more Canadians.
3rd month, success!!
This month, the forth month, we're doubling the print run again. That's 200,000 papers to be freely given away all over the country in March.
The cost for printing and distribution is just 10 cents each. A dime. That's all it costs to put solid information into someone's hands, and hopefully mind.
The cost on a bundle is $10. Each bundle has 100 papers. (papers have 12 pages)
Do you see the power of the people? 100 papers printed AND distributed across the country for just $10!! That's truly incredible.
20,000 Druthers landed in BC!
Please help us buy more bundles!!
Donate if you can (big thanks to all who have) or subscribe to get copies delivered to your door each month.
Share, talk, promote and just own this thing!! Druthers is yours too.

That's all. Email me if you have any questions, ideas, suggestions, or anything else helpful at admin@druthers.net
Thank you. I love you. Keep on passing it on!

If you don't already know me and would like more of a look into my world, I invite you to visit my facebook wall @ www.fb.com/shawnjason
You'll find an 11 year history of caring for humanity. It actually goes back 16 years but my facebook is only 11 years old.
Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Ottawa & Toronto
Druthers is printing its 3rd issue (February) and this time we are going Canada-wide with 100,000 copies! All of them will be freely distributed by 150+ volunteers across the country.
Seriously, thank you everyone. I knew a paper like this would be well received, but you all are blowing my mind with all the love, support & encouragement you have shown for this project.
Nothing matters more right now, as I see it, than getting real, honest news and information into the hands (and hopefully minds) of more Canadians. Information / knowledge is power, and we must empower more of our fellow Canadians before it is too late.
There are 4 main ways to help:
1. Donations (Any totals above this month's goal will be carried over into next month's campaign)
2. Write (Are you able to present information in a powerful way? Consider writing a piece for next month)
3. Distribute (If you are in any of the cities listed above and would like to help, let me know)
4. Promote (Spread the word everywhere you can to raise more awareness about this paper)
Also wanted: a few people who can edit videos for druthers, update the druthers wordpress site and/or help with druthers social media sites platforms. Please message me at: admin@druthers.net
