Invitation: Become a Founding Member
It’s an era of conflict and confusion in the democratic world.
In 1946, only a year after the end of World War II, George Orwell wrote, “To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.” Almost 80 years later, it’s no less true. Only now, we’re living with this same struggle in the midst of a new one:
Digital technology is now everywhere in our lives, and digital media has developed a dominant business model:
Every media brand that makes its money by keeping people engaged with its content for as much time as possible is building its business on addiction—and the realities of addiction: isolation, agitation, anxiety, and ultimately a deadened sense of efficacy.
This is a real crisis in democratic society—one that affects all of us living in a rapidly changing, complex world. Right in front of one’s nose.
We’re building The Signal because we believe meeting this crisis needs a historically ambitious project.
To help us stay independent and true to The Signal’s vision as we grow, we’ve launched our founding-membership program—a limited number of lifetime memberships available for a one-time payment of $1,000.
Founding membership represents crucial financial support for The Signal—and the founding community represents more: a network dedicated to cultivating democratic life, in our home societies and around the world.
If you’d be interested in joining this community and supporting The Signal, you can purchase your founding membership here.
