The 2022 Summer Fund Drive ends this Sunday [View all]

Hello everyone -- I have a quick announcement about the Summer Fund Drive.

First, I'd like to thank everyone who has purchased a Star Membership or renewed their Star Membership during the past week! Democratic Underground could not exist without your generosity. As you know, the Summer Fund Drive includes the "gift membership" promotion which allows DUers to purchase Star Memberships for members who don't have them. Once again, this promotion was a big success and it was my pleasure to pass your gifts along to the recipients.

DU bumper stickers will be sent out this coming week to those who opted to receive them.

Please note that the Summer Fund Drive will end late on Sunday night (August 21). If you have stickies to post, make sure to use them before the end of the day Sunday, because the stickies will be gone on Monday morning.

If you purchase a Star Membership for someone else before the end of the fund drive on Sunday, you may not hear from me until Monday morning. Don't worry though -- any gift memberships purchased before the end of the fund drive will of course be honored. However, please note that if you want to gift a Star Membership to someone, you will not be able to do so once the fund drive ends -- you will have to wait until next year.

Thank you once again to everyone who participated this week! DU is truly the best community on the Internet and I'm proud to be a part of it with you all.
