Presenting a July 4th Membership Special
In the spirit of Independence Day, get a $22 discount to support independent journalism.
Fourth of July
July 4th is a day filled with fireworks, cookouts, and history. It’s Independence Day, after all, the day we wave our flags and celebrate America’s revolution, along with having cookouts and enjoying fireworks. Back in 1776, things were a little bit different. For example, there was a lot less journalism and the news traveled a lot slower. Yet our founders even then noted the key importance of newspapers to a democracy. Today an independent news media may be even more important.
With that in mind and in the spirit of 1776 and of 1787, when the U.S. Constitution was created, we’re offering a huge Independence Day membership deal that is only valid now through Friday, July 5th. During this time, you’ll get $22.13 off the normal price of an annual Urban Milwaukee membership: rather than the normal $99. From now through Friday, July 5th, you can join our publication for just $76.87 for an entire year. It’s your chance to support an independent press that is so important to our democracy. By joining, you’ll help support a publication that is fiercely mission-centered, with a goal of championing Milwaukee and urban solutions while accurately and aggressively reporting the news.
Use special discount code JULY4 on our easy sign-up form.
Our price of $76.87 reflects that fact that July 4th, 1776 and the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1787 are of equal importance, along with the Bill of Rights. Heck, we couldn’t do what we do without the First Amendment, and its protections for freedom of speech and the press. And because we want to have as much impact as possible with our stories, we believe in keeping it free to all. Which is why we need every reader who believe in us and our mission and who wants to help us continue, to become an Urban Milwaukee member. Our membership program ensures the survival of our publication and of independent journalism. Oh, and you get a lot of cool benefits, too.
