We get it.
Staying informed and reading the news and changing the world can be pretty tough when you’re also busy going to work, making dinner, keeping up with your shows, walking the dog, going to the gym, and trying to call your mom every once in a while.
That’s why we created The Weekly Common. Delivered straight to your inbox every Thursday evening/ Friday morning, The Weekly Common tells you everything you need to know for the week ahead… and all in 20 minutes or less. We’ve all got time for that! 🙂

Why subscribe?
We keep it brief.
Because we know you already have 100,000 emails in your inbox and an entire Instagram feed of puppies and cookie decorating videos to get through.
We actually explain the news.
Because we know that the last really good civics lesson you had was School House Rock… and the only line you can remember is, “Yes, I’m only a bill, up on Capitol Hill.”
We keep it positive.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
We give you clear steps for action.
Because what good is knowing that the climate is changing or inequality is rising if you can’t actually do anything to stop it?
We keep it nonpartisan.
Because the world really doesn’t need another talking head, does it? That’s what cable news is for. We’re not here to get in political arguments. We’re here to share the facts.
We keep it local.
Because this is where we actually live, damn it! And this is where we can have the biggest impact.
