We've already launched an online fundraiser, and the early results have been amazing: we're raised over $30,000 in just the first week. With your help we'll reach our start-up goal of $75,000 over the next month. To contribute directly to the fundraiser, you can go to the Crowdfunder's webpage here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ricochet-le-journal-nouveau-genre-a-new-take-on-independent-media/x/5542080
Born of collaboration that began during the 2012 'Maple Spring' in Quebec, Ricochet is the product of collaboration between anglophones and francophones, informed by an understanding of our colonial histories and supportive of contemporary Indigenous struggles. To get a sense of what we have planned, check out this video produced by our team in Montreal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKV2UgLO-bs
We hope to see you on Friday!
