  Two weeks of free stuff for new Hall of Shameless members

  July 11, 2012 • Nicole Cohen

  For the next two weeks Shameless is offering cool, free stuff for new Hall of Shameless members!

  Join the team of champs who help fund the independent, feisty, feminist magazine that gives teen girls and trans youth space to speak up and talk back. Give us a few dollars a month and we’ll keep giving you a fresh alternative to typical teen magazines.

  As you know, Shameless is published by a dedicated (and awesome) community of volunteer writers, activists, artists and editors. We have no corporate sponsorship and don’t qualify for Canadian publishing grants. We thrive on community love, labour, and support. For a small monthly donation, you can help us pay our bills and help us work toward our goal of paying our volunteer staff and contributors.

  All Hall of Shameless members receive an ongoing subscription to Shameless, free entry to all of our events, and other fun things.

  ALSO: for new members, we have PRESENTS! Join as a Shameless Rookie ($5/month) and receive two back issues of your choice. Join as a Shameless Pro ($10/month) and get your choice of a sweatshop-free Shameless tote bag or a copy of our book, She’s Shameless: Women Write About Growing Up, Rocking Out and Fighting Back. Join as a Shameless Champ, Team Captain, or MVP and we’ll send you back issues, a book, and a tote to carry it all in!
  
  Join now and help Shameless keep talking back (this offer lasts until July 25).

  You can also join the campaign on Facebook to help us spread the word.

  Join the Hall of Shameless!

  As you know, Shameless magazine has been a fresh alternative to typical teen media since 2004. From day one, Shameless has been publishing on 100% pure volunteer power. But to keep publishing this independent magazine, full of the smart, sassy content so many have come know and love, we need your help.

  Shameless has no corporate backers and we want to keep it that way. As an independent magazine, Shameless has the freedom to fulfill our mandate of creating content that empowers girls and trans youth to be curious, to be brave, to think critically and creatively and to trust themselves.

  With your help we can make Shameless sustainable. For a small monthly donation (and we mean small! The price of one fancy coffee or one trip to the movies!), you will receive an ongoing subscription to Shameless and free entry to all of our events. More importantly, you will be an integral part of ensuring that Shameless continues to bring a much-needed voice to young women and trans youth across Canada.

  Times are tough for independent and alternative media. Your support is crucial to the long-term sustainability of Shameless.

  Join the Hall of Shameless! Your small monthly donation will go a long way. Sign up here, and please spread the word about this exciting new initiative.
