Let's Address This Ranks #71 Nationally on Substack Politics!

Less than a year since it's launch, Let's Address This is making its mark—all thanks to you—now it's time to accelerate

As many of you know, it’s been a tough week for my family and I. Especially in times like this, I believe it is even more important to celebrate the good things in life. Today I want to share one of those good things, one that you made possible.

Due to your gracious support, subscriptions, and shares, I just got word that Let’s Address This with Qasim Rashid is now officially ranked #71 among all political platforms on Substack. Outstanding!

For perspective, there are more than 17,000 writers on Substack, and the Politics section is by far their largest cohort of writers. That makes our #71 rank that much more remarkable. Due to your support, we’re currently ahead of major names like Thom Hartmann, Ann Coulter, and Van Jones. And we’re just a few spots behind heavy hitter journalists like Joy Ann Reid. This ranking is thanks to you—the 124,000+ readers who are showing up, reading, sharing, and demanding better.

And guess what? We’ve achieved all of this without a single billionaire dollar. No corporate sponsorships. No PR machine. Just the power of truth, justice, and people who refuse to be silent in the face of fascism.

We’re writing daily on the issues corporate media refuses to touch—state violence, genocide, book bans, judicial corruption, and the gutting of our democracy. And we're doing it with the clarity, compassion, courage, and with the meaningful calls to action necessary to counter the injustices we face.

Our one-year anniversary is coming up on April 23—and with your help, my hope is for us to crack the Top 50 and continue to rise. But that won’t happen on its own. That will require each of your collective effort.

So, today, I ask you to take one, two, or all three of the actions below.

1. 📬 If you’re not subscribed yet—now’s the time.

2. 📢 If you’re already subscribed, please share this newsletter with someone you care about and ask them to subscribe, for free or as a paid subscriber.

3. 🎁 Or, if you’re feeling generous towards a friend or family member, consider gifting them subscription to help us grow.

I consider it an honor that after 1 month of subscribing, more than 99% of our paid subscribers remain subscribed. We know our ideas win when people hear them—so help me make sure people hear them. Let’s keep building this community, keep raising our voices, and keep showing what’s possible when We the People lead. Take one, two, or all three of the calls to action listed above—I would be most grateful.

And from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

With peace,
