The challenges facing local news organizations are very real. That's why reader support matters more than ever. If you believe independent journalism matters, make a contribution today and help us reach our summer fundraising goal of $15,000 by August 9.

$15,000

Visit www.recordstoreday.com for participating record stores, promotions, exclusives, and all things vinyl-snob hobnobbery.
