Friends of Watershed Voice, today is #GivingTuesday and we need your support. Being independent means we don’t have to answer to advertisers or outside interests when delivering the news. It also means the bulk of our funding comes from community members like you, who value our community-first reporting whether it’s a story on crime, local government or art and culture.
The hardworking staff of Watershed Voice will be spending the upcoming holiday with family, and will not be asked to publish content on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday of this week to give them ample time to do so.
