One thing we're thankful for

Thanksgiving is here, Facing South readers -- time to start your ovens, pick your football games and bone up on your Thanksgiving knowledge.

It's also, of course, time to reflect on the people and things for which you're grateful. For us at Facing South, that's an easy one: We're thankful for you.

Your interest and readership has helped Facing South become a must-read resource for tens of thousands of Southerners and South-watchers each month.

Your tips, ideas and thoughts have helped us report on important but under-reported stories, and think about issues in new ways.

Your membership and support has given us the resources to expose the growing threats to our health, communities and democracy.

And your belief in the possibility of a better South and world inspires us to do the best we can for a more just and sustainable future.

From all of us at Facing South and the Institute, thank you. We hope you have a peaceful and joyful holiday.

NOTE: Facing South will be on vacation until Monday, November 29.
