6. Because the badges are unbelievably adorable:

(and way less creepy than earlier iterations).

5. Because side projects like Rising Voices really make a difference in people’s lives.

4. Because Global Voices authors throw the best parties (and are skilled in the art of BYOB – all the way around the world!)

2. Because your donation tells us that you love the adorable lolcat badge, meaning that we never have to lay eyes on the first 25 creepy ideas again.

1. Because Global Voices brings you the news and stories you can’t get anywhere else.

Donate to Global Voices because we need the support of our readers to stay independent, free, and sustainable. And please, if you do donate, let me and the rest of your friends know that you did so.
