Dear Valued Supporters,
I hope this message finds you well. 

It's fantastic to see such diligent and passionate supporters rallying behind the crucial cause of saving the ABC Drum. Your collective voice resonates, and it's powerful to see the supportive impact we've achieved so far. 
In December, we embarked on a journey to safeguard an essential component of our media landscape, The Drum on the ABC, from cancellation. Our shared belief in the significance of diversified reporting and open dialogue has brought us together, and I am humbled and grateful to share that we reached an astounding 20,000 signatures!
However, I understand that our journey isn't over yet - our objective is still ahead. While we've made considerable progress, we recognize that there's still a ways to go. Although the momentum seemed to slow down a bit after the first few weeks, our cause’s relevance and implications have not. We have recently seen an inspiring resurgence, adding more signatures, and we have no intention of stopping here.
We need to leverage this momentum to broaden our reach and impact even further. This is where your continued support becomes so crucial. I want to encourage each one of you to share the petition with your network - your friends, family, colleagues, and social media followers. Words spread fast, and each additional signature means amplifying our collective voice and making it impossible to ignore.
Each of us has the power to ignite change, so let's turn this spark into a roaring flame. Let us ensure that the ABC Drum continues to beat, resonating with the sound of integrity, fearless reporting, and in-depth analysis

Best Regards,
