Eat the State! has thrived for five years without an office or paid staff-- thrived based on the work of the folks who, as a labor of love, have helped make it happen.

That includes a lot of people, and, alas, we're not very good internal historians--so this unfortunately isn't going to be a complete list. (Apologies to those we've inadvertently missed!) But here is a pretty good list of all the people who've helped work, even briefly, to make ETS! happen, in one way or another: editing, writing, proofreading, layout, production, distribution, ads, benefits, you name it! (The list of financial donors is even longer. And don't even ask about the letter-writers...) Thanks to all of you (including whoever we inadvertently missed), and we invite anyone and everyone to help us out as we set out for another five years!
