In under a month, New Internationalist’s innovative community share offer has already raised more than £390,000 of our £500,000 target. The number of New Internationalist co-owners has swelled from 800 to more than 1,800 people — and we’re thrilled to discover that they come from over 30 countries worldwide. As you can see in our interactive map, we’re becoming a truly global movement!

Our new members continue to post wonderful comments on the Crowdfunder page. Quite tickled by this one, from Philip:

‘New Internationalist, though quite different, ranks with the New York Times as one of the best publications on the planet.’

We’ve also had a few company investors, including Ethical Consumer magazine, come on board.

It already feels quite different to be part of a co-op made up of thousands, rather than 18 people. It was amazing to bump into some of our new investors face to face at the anti-racism march in London last Saturday, whilst handing out flyers.

I get the strong sense that New Internationalist will be able to achieve so much more with all of you behind us.

So let’s get over the finish line! The race is on to raise the remaining £100,000 by 6 April. If you haven’t invested yet, please consider doing so as soon as possible – we only have 10 days to go. If you can't invest or you have already, here's some simple ways to spread the word:

• Share these ready-made messages as a Tweet or Facebook post.

• Organizations can invest too – are there any businesses you know who may like to join our co-operative?

Support grows

The campaign continues to attract support from political and cultural movers and shakers such as Icelandic Pirate Party MP Birgitta Jónsdóttir who had this warm endorsement for New Internationalist.

Media Attention

We’ve more from the press, including posts on the anti-privatization campaign site We Own It, The Bookseller, and Ethical Consumer Magazine, an interview on BBC Oxford (our 15-min interview comes in at 2:08 pm) and coverage in Publishers Weekly.

It’s make or break time now. We know campaigns hit a slump in the middle but with £100k still to go, we cannot afford to slow down. Let’s give it all we’ve got! Invest now at: factsandheart.org
