The Campaign is nearing 50% of goal, and we need a final push to make our 30-year effort a success.

This $30 for 30 FREE years of Windy City Times campaign will support the vital and award-winning work of our staff and freelance journalists at Windy City Times.

We cover the LGBT Chicago community 365 days a year, with 52 print issues, delivered rain or shine, in blizzards or heat waves. For 30 years we have been FREE; now we're asking for just $30 for those 30 years.

So please support our investigative journalists in their efforts to continue to

uncover stories no one else wants to touch.

Plus, we have some great prize levels above that, including theater, music, food and more!
