Hello, I’m Alisa Tang. Many readers know me from Post Local, a newsletter I authored at the Washington Post until Feb. 4, when my job was eliminated in a mass layoff. I loved the newsletter and my readers. I had been hoping to grow the community both online and in person.

So I’m moving us here instead. Type in your email above and click to subscribe. Weekday mornings, I’ll offer you my Daily Dose of comfort, joy and community.

Please click below to donate as I build my new chapter as an independent journalist. I have hope, and I hope you’ll lean into it with me. I appreciate you!
