Hi Friend —

In the months since coronavirus shut down most of the country, the team here at The Forward has stepped up to make sure our readers and our community have what they need to stay informed.

We’re publishing more than ever. This includes breaking news about developments as they happen as well as in-depth stories about how COVID is impacting Jewish Americans and their families. We’ve been hosting virtual events and we also let down our paywall for all our coronavirus-related coverage. All of this is part of our commitment to outstanding service during this time.

Our hard work is paying off: More readers than ever are turning to The Forward. We’ve set records for our web traffic in the last few months. This is fantastic — but it also poses a challenge.

More traffic means our costs are up too. It takes more work and more infrastructure to meet the needs of our expanded audience. Can you chip in to help cover our costs?

This is a historic time when Americans are looking for courageous, independent journalism. We are incredibly proud that so many readers like you find that every day with The Forward.

Help keep this work going by making a contribution to The Forward today. We’ll keep providing the outstanding news you rely on, no matter what comes next.

Sincerely,



Jay Ehrlich
VP, General Manager
The Forward
