What is the Washington Free Press?
The Washington Free Press exists to carry under-reported regional news and thought-provoking opinion out to those who might not otherwise be able to read it. We do this by free distribution of our paper and our website. In order to get the news out like this, we need your reader support to help us pay for printing, postage, computer, and other basic costs. That's why we ask you to please subscribe and donate. If you have time for doing volunteer distribution in your neighborhood or other volunteer work, that would also be very helpful. You can let us know on the same subscription form. Thanks!
Doug Collins, coordinating editor
