Goal
With a new year on the horizon, Real Progressives endeavors to lead the charge more than ever before. We are bridging the gap between Modern Monetary Theory and class analysis. Bringing an understanding of how money works. Empowering people to break the cycle of living on the table scraps of the rich.
We produce a weekly podcast, Macro N Cheese, covering political economy, MMT, global geopolitics, and more. We publish articles and papers on our website. And we host online book clubs and webinars. Tuesday night’s Macro ‘n Chill is a trusted virtual gathering – a listening party – where old friends and newcomers get together to mine our podcast episodes for valuable nuggets we might have missed on our own. We offer this to the public as members of a truly free press. There is no charge for the clarity we bring day after day, week after week, year after year.
Collectively we tease out answers to the thorny, important questions that are too nuanced for sound bytes and click-bait headlines. We're building a real community of inquiry. Developing political economic understanding takes a robust effort.
Offering it all with no price tag does come at a cost:
We’re not the federal government. We do need your support. From virtual office space to podcast editing software and hosting platforms, the bills keep coming in. Your tax-deductible donation powers in-depth media, builds education systems, and expands the space for people to strengthen their analysis.
With careful planning our all-volunteer crew have become very financially efficient, but here are some of the as yet uncovered needs:
$1516.08 - server space, website hosting & digital footprint
$954.00 - podcast hosting and distributed publishing
$2671.20 - video and audio editing & transcription software
$1186.80 - communication & organizational systems
$2250 (est.) - book club hardcopy/digital book distribution
While $8578.08 may seem like a lot, when comrades work as one, we are an unstoppable force.
We know you believe society should provide universal public services – high quality healthcare, housing, education, and guaranteed jobs – it takes all of us to make it real. If you agree with the radical idea that everyone deserves to understand the system that’s ruling our lives, please make a tax-deductible end-of-year contribution and consider becoming a monthly donor to Real Progressives.
