  Join the Hall of Shameless!

  March 14, 2011 • Nicole Cohen

  

  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.
