I'm a member of a loose collective that produces a paper called the Raging Pelican. The Raging Pelican is a free (and advertisement-free!) newspaper started by a group of New Orleanians in the aftermath of the BP oil disaster. The Pelican exists to elevate the voices of those affected, report on resistance, and bring to bear for the broadest possible audience various & diverse local antiauthoritarian, anticapitalist or even just fiercely regionalist perspectives on issues affecting the Gulf Coast. It's full of beautiful art and dangerous ideas. We published and distributed the first three issues out-of-pocket, but now we're using a slightly gross online fundraiser, "Kickstarter," to try and raise money for three more.

www.kickstarter.com/projects/r…

You can learn more about the Pelican by visiting ragingpelican.com/, where you can read articles or download entire issues in PDF format.

I know folks are strapped for cash. We'd never have started this thing if we thought everything was tops! My hope is that you like the paper as much as I do, but if failing that you love me enough to be pressured by my pleading to share our kickstarter on ya'lls page and help us raise some of that evil capital.

If we don't raise the cash it won't matter, we like the project enough to keep going. We just want to put more our more often.

Thanks folks for your help!
May the road rise to meet you and all you're coffees be bought by lovely people out of your league.
