Video: Actress Evangeline Lilly wants to match your donation
We’re down to the final week of our Kickstarter campaign to raise $50,000 to clean up Canada’s energy debate.
So far, 156 of you have collectively chipped in more than $36,000 — thank you so much!
Here’s the thing: the way Kickstarter works is you only receive the pledged funds if you reach your goal. That means we still need to raise another $14,000 by Sunday — or we go home with nothing.
We’ve had two generous donors come forward to match every dollar given in the next six days. So, if you give $25, we’ll get $50. If you give $50, we’ll get $100. Can you chip in $25 or $50 today?
One of our matching donors is Canadian actor Evangeline Lilly, known for her roles in Lost and The Hobbit. Here’s what she has to say about DeSmog Canada:
“I am a born and raised proud Canadian who trusts DeSmog Canada wholeheartedly. They are my source for trusted, reliable hard-hitting journalism on environmental issues in the country … I support them completely and I ask you to reach out and lend a hand to support also.”
Will you join Evangeline Lilly in supporting DeSmog Canada today?
In a time when newspapers and TV stations are slashing staff, our team of award-winning writers and editors have a mandate to go beyond the headlines to cut through the spin clouding the energy debate.
If you’ve already donated, thank you so much! Please consider sharing our campaign to clean up Canada’s energy debate. Together, we’re going to shine a light on issues overlooked by traditional media.
Thanks for all you do,
Carol Linnitt, on behalf of the DeSmog Canada team
P.S. Remember every dollar pledged between now and Sunday will be doubled.r0
