Bowers News Media PAC is brought to you by Chris Bowers and Matthew Kerbel, who bring you the Bowers News Media email news and action email list and the Wolves and Sheep Substack respectively. By supporting Bowers News Media PAC, you are supporting both Bowers News Media and Wolves and Sheep.


Starting an $8 monthly recurring donation to Bowers News Media PAC, or donating $80 or more in a 12 month period, allows you to become a paid subscriber to both Bowers News Media and Wolves and Sheep. Paid subscribers receive:


  • Chris’s weekly guidance memo on how to be a better activist–twenty years of experience distilled into a short weekly memo for paid subscribers only.
  • One additional long form article per week from Matt on Wolves and Sheep
  • Invitation to join interactive political briefings every month with both Chris and Matt on Zoom
  • Ability to comment on Wolves and Sheep.


Together, Bowers News Media and Wolves and Sheep bring our supporters efficient, accessible, insightful, impactful, timely, grassroots political analysis and pro-democracy progressive activism:


  • Efficient. We have only two employees–Chris Bowers and Matt Kerbel–and we always will. Further, we employ only low cost, easy to use, out of the box tech tools. Minimal overhead and nothing fancy–only the bare minimum needed to keep the lights on.
  • Accessible. We will do our best to read every comment you make on Wolves and Sheep and every reply you send to a Bowers News Media email, and reply to most of them.
  • Insightful. Matt brings 36 years of political science research to the table, and Chris adds 20 years of professional political organizing. We have both published extensively and know our stuff, both in theory and in practice.
  • Impactful. In his 20 years of political activism, Chris has raised over $150,000,000 in grassroots donations for Democratic candidates and progressive organizations, signed up over 250,000 Get Out the Vote volunteers, generated tens of millions of constituent letters to elected officials, and developed numerous groundbreaking campaigns.
  • Timely. We are a pro-democracy organization at a time when democracy is facing its greatest threat since the Civil War. You can be part of a community of like-minded individuals determined to prevent the country from sliding into autocracy.
  • Grassroots. We do not solicit, or accept, large donations from any source. We are a grassroots organization supported by small donations and Substack subscriptions. This ensures we are always accountable to you, not to wealthy donors or powerful insiders.


Please join us in our effort to make an impact for Democrats, progressives, and the pro-democracy movement by becoming a paid subscriber today for $8 per month or $80 per year. We operate efficiently, insightfully, and effectively, while remaining accessible and accountable to our grassroots supporters.
