Counter-Currents rests on your shoulders too!

That means that more people than ever before are consuming free online information on New Right ideas. But our book sales and financial support have not grown proportionately.

On Tuesday, November 3rd, we received 3 donations totaling $1,370, which put us over the top, with a total of $40,193.80. The Summer Fundraiser is now dead. Long live the Fall Fundraiser!

So far this year, we have received donations from 303 unique individuals. In the same year, we have received more than 800,000 unique visitors to this site. Thus 303 people make it possible for more than 800,000 others to get free stuff off the internet.

I want to thank you on my behalf, and on behalf of all the people who enjoy bountiful enlightenment and entertainment due to your generosity.
