When we began this journey four years ago to rant about
the establishment and curate the most important news of the day, we never imagined that nearly a million people would visit our blog each month. It
has humbled us beyond measure.
Yet, despite record traffic, our ad revenue is insufficient to advance our mission to promote peace and liberty. The good news is that the great awakening is growing exponentially, the bad news is truth telling doesn't always pay the bills, especially when readers hate advertisements.
So we're excited to announce that we're developing a new Ad-Free platform for Activist Post, but we need your help to launch it.
How we got here
“How can a man be a philosopher and not maintain his vital heat by better methods than other men” – Henry David Thoreau.
We started this blog part time, as a maddening itch for truth and justice that had no foundation in prestige or in making money. Now, we consider ourselves extremely fortunate to work around the clock to provide a counter to mainstream propaganda and a platform for other independent journalists. However, our income, if broken down hourly, would make a fast-food worker blush at their good fortune.
It is no mystery what we are up against: a corporate-government media machine that continues to expand their desire to shut out dissenting voices and alternative information. They even resort to labeling peaceful activism or political dissent as "terrorism", and reading alternative information as potentially "becoming radicalized on the Internet".
Ideas of peace, love, and liberty have great power. In fact, the establishment is scared to death of these ideas taking root. Anyone who desires control over others would naturally be terrified of these principles because they represent the precise antidote to their agenda. But they have incredibly vast resources at their disposal, and all we have in independent news is each other. Our crowd. Our tribe. You!
We always envisioned an open-source platform that would rise or fall based on the merit of the information, and hard work and dedication. However, there are very few ways to make money in open-source media and stay true to our principles. We originally chose market-based advertising as our chief source of revenue because it’s voluntary, but we know many of you despise the advertisements.
But, alas, fighting the war of ideas against the established order takes more than passion. It takes action and it takes resources. It takes the crowd support for alternative media to survive and thrive.
So today we call on your generosity to support our fundraising goal. And it's okay if you pledge just to get a share of the epic perks
What's the money for?
The purpose of this crowdfunder is to raise $40,000 to complete and launch an entirely new Ad-Free platform that will give you a super-clean news viewing experience. This platform is nearly complete but it requires man hours and talent that we don’t currently have. That's why we need your help.
The new website will encompass all of our original posts and our top news stories curated each day from around the Web, as well as some new community features that give you more personal interaction with us.

What's more, adding an additional platform to Activist Post spreads and diversifies our presence, which further protects us from the arbitrary censorship and shutdowns that we already experienced several times (shout out to Google).
Membership Subscription
We've opposed offering a subscription news service in the past because we believe information this important must be free, but now we clearly see value in offering an Ad-Free experience. That said, we will always maintain a free version of our website.
We know times are tight, so we’ve priced this subscription as low as possible to be able to bring this new platform to you. Membership in this Ad-Free community will be $5/month, or basically like buying one Starbucks coffee per month for our crew.
Note: If you receive a short-term subscription with your pledge today, you are under no obligation to continue paying after it expires.
Be the change! Please contribute today to the great awakening and get some priceless Perks!

Gunmetal Gray silicon wristband (S-M-L), ActivistPost.com engraved on one side, Peace + Love + Liberty = Happy engraved in white on the other.
This design is intended to be the recipe for human happiness; peace, love, and freedom. Why the Anarchy symbol? It doesn't mean "chaos and destruction" as the establishment wants you to believe. Anarchy literally means "anti-ruler", not without rules. One could say it's a society without rulers. As such, we view it as a universal symbol for individual human freedom.
