One last reminder before tonight

Hi there,

As this 30-day anniversary campaign comes to a close at midnight tonight, I wanted to send one final note to simply say thank you.

I’ve watched this community rally around local journalism in a way that has honestly meant more to me than I can properly put into words. The Cabarrus Compass has now grown to roughly 1,870 subscribers, with 662 paid supporters choosing to invest directly in independent reporting here in Cabarrus County.

Every paid subscription helps cover the time and resources it takes to report stories thoroughly, attend meetings, ask questions, dig through records, produce podcasts and continue building something local, independent and community-focused.

If you’ve been considering becoming a paid subscriber, I wanted to send one final reminder that the special new Founding Member offer ends tonight at midnight.

Through the end of the day, every new Founding Member will still receive their choice of a Cabarrus Compass T-shirt or tote bag as a thank-you for supporting local journalism in Cabarrus County.

For this final stretch of the campaign, you can become a Founding Member for $150 per year — $50 off the regular rate. Standard subscription options are also available at $8/month or $70/year.

No matter which option you choose, your support directly sustains this work.

You can subscribe here: https://cpmille3.substack.com/subscribe.

And truly, whether you are a paid subscriber, a free reader, someone who forwards stories to friends or someone who simply opens the emails each morning, thank you for being here. The Cabarrus Compass would not exist without this community behind it.
