Happy Sunday, Ravenous readers. It’s Jaya Saxena, one of the founders here, writing to you from beautiful Queens, New York: go Knicks go Mets. Or actually, if you’re reading this on Sunday, I am in Seattle for a dear friend’s birthday party. But if you’re reading this when you’re back at your computer on Monday then I’m in Queens. OK, glad we got that sorted.
We’re entering week two of Ravenous’ fundraising (have you subscribed or donated yet?) and couldn’t be more thrilled with the responses we’ve gotten. Personally, I’ve dreamed about being part of a worker-owned media company for years. When I lost my job in August, my reaction was instant relief. Yes, it was scary to suddenly be without a salary, but now there was nothing stopping us. We had to do this.
