Support Northwest Citizen's Website Update

Since 1995, Northwest Citizen has provided a platform for citizens to write articles, advance local community issues, organize public participation, and effect change in local governments. It is one of the oldest community blogs on the Internet.

To continue this service, we need your help raising $6,000 to update NWC’s programming. The current code was written in 2008 and since then multiple patches, updates, and hacks have hobbled the site making it hard to use, to read on mobile devices, phones, and tablets; and frustrating to search. As a result, our archive of over 2,700 issue-related articles are hard to access. The programming needs to be replaced to comply with today’s internet.

Thank you in advance for supporting us so we can continue to provide a venue for local citizen journalists…and so you can use the site in the way it was intended to be read and used. We will keep you informed of our funding progress.
