OB Rag’s Summer Fundraiser! Help Us Reach $1,000 by Next Week

Our Summer Appeal for Donations – Keep the Press Local and Free

The OB Rag‘s Summer Fundraiser starts today!

For the last couple of years, we’ve held two fundraisers a year, in the summer and in the fall.

Today, our goal is to reach $1,000 in donations and contributions from our readers and supporters, over this weekend and into next week. Last November, we surpassed our goal of $2,000, so now we’re not asking for as much.

Now that the president of the United States has called the press, “the enemy of the people” and charges of “fake news” are all around us, the folks of OB and Point Loma (and the rest of San Diego as well) need the OB Rag more than ever.

We said in November:

We like to think that our uber local OB news focus, the discussion platform we offer to the community on issues, our efforts to keep a grip on changes in OB, in San Diego, nation-wide – and the world beyond – put us in the running for providing you, our readers, with a semblance of needed news, analysis and some truth.

The OB Rag is currently in our tenth year of being the online newspaper for Ocean Beach. Please ensure that we can keep going.

Here’s some recent reasons for keeping us around.
