The received political wisdom is that the major parties have set up so many structural roadblocks over their many decades in power that it’s impossible for any of the smaller so-called third parties to achieve major party status. And from my experience that received wisdom has been correct. So far.

The Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism was founded to produce solid independent reporting across Massachusetts. In recent years, we have expanded that mandate to include helping rebuild local news from the ground up. And we pursue both linked missions in the public interest. Therefore, we absolutely depend on the public—readers like you—to donate the funds we need to keeping afflicting the comfortable and comforting the afflicted. So please dig deep and donate whatever you can, as often as you can. The democracy you save may be your own.
