Your Donations Made A Difference

From commenter fenkalevobocek in Your Donations Are Off to Madison:
This is amazing. I started reading Gawker when I was an undergrad at NYU, and I’ve been reading The Awl since it started, and that supply list is the same one I’ve been looking at on the office wall for the past week. I’m a TA and union member at UW-Milwaukee, and I’ve been in Madison working with my union & my sister union at UW-Madison as much as possible since all of this started. To come home from a long day at the Capitol and see this post, to know that list probably came from either the info table on the rotunda or our office, I can’t even believe it. The amount of support that we’ve gotten, our unions and every public union and everyone that’s been out in Madison since last week, is completely unreal and makes everything that we’re doing possible. This started out as this local thing, and to see how much support we’ve gotten and how much it’s grown every day, I can’t even believe it. I’m sorry, I’m not usually this sincere (I’m a little drunk on all this solidarity and also wine & Jim Beam), but damn. Thank you. Thank you so, so much. This is just so so so awesome and makes me love The Awl more than I already did.
Once again: Nice work, everyone.
