Cyber Monday Ask

Support a one person show to help us grow in 2026 and beyond

Dear friends,

It’s Cyber Monday. In a moment I am going to ask you to support me by subscribing to my human rights newsletter titled Let’s Address This, but first, please ‪read the below short letter.

I want to take a moment to say how much your engagement and support mean to me. Running this platform is a labor of love, but let me tell you—it is also a lot of work!

Throughout the past 20 months I have worked as a one-person team. That means every article you read, every argument I craft, every fact I verify, every podcast I script, and every video I record, edit, and post—it all comes from hours of research, writing, edits, revisions, and dedication from yours truly. And to date, we have published more than 650 pieces of verified, fact checked, articles, podcasts, and videos.

My goal is simple: to address the critical human rights issues that define our time and provide you with the insights, clarity, and tools to engage meaningfully with the world around us, and work to right the wrongs we see in front of us. Your trust and support has helped Let’s Address This become one of the top platforms in the entire Substack universe with more than 2 million monthly readers. That is outstanding.

But here’s the thing: for us to grow and reach more people, we need support and resources. I cannot do this alone. That’s where you come in.

I am asking you to consider upgrading to a paid subscription. How much? A cup of coffee, once a month, i.e. $6/month. Your support will help me cover essential costs like research tools, platform fees, the sheer time spent creating this content to advance human rights—and most importantly—support! I am hiring a team to help expand our reach and impact. With your help, we can build something even bigger, better, and farther reaching.

And by becoming a paid subscriber, you do something else critically important. You help ensure my writing and advocacy remains free and accessible to all those who may not have the means to upgrade to a paid subscription. I don’t believe in paywalls, and I’m hopeful you can help ensure my content continues to remain accessible and sustainable.

We’ve experienced the struggles of 2025 and it was everything we predicted. We know 2026 and beyond are going to be even worse for human rights. Billionaires are buying out media outlets. Corporate media has a 28% trust rating. Now is the time to invest in new information platforms who are accountable to working people. Now is the time to act and stand united. Together, we can amplify our message, speak truth to power, and continue fighting for justice. Let’s make it happen.

Thank you for believing in me, for trusting in me, and for being part of this journey.

With gratitude,

Qasim
