Open Session
& Before Council

Thanks for listening to Open Session
& Before Council

Open Session and Before Council are independent projects produced by Just Good Fight.

While these projects are not created primarily as a business venture, producing them does involve real costs, including equipment, software, hosting, and many hours of research, recording, editing, and production.

We are fortunate to be able to cover those costs ourselves so the content can remain free and accessible to everyone.

If you find value in this work and would like to help support it, you can do so through Ko-fi.

Ko-fi is simply a voluntary tip jar. There are no subscriptions, no memberships, no paywalls, and no obligation to contribute. Listen, share, participate, and engage however works best for you.

Any contributions will first help offset the costs of producing Open Session and Before Council. Any remaining funds will be shared between Tony Ayala and Mac Kiel in recognition of the time and effort invested in creating the project.

For transparency, Open Session and Before Council are produced through Just Good Fight LLC, a local business owned and operated by Tony Ayala. These projects are not nonprofits and contributions are not tax-deductible.

Most importantly, financial support is never expected. Listening, sharing episodes, asking questions, attending meetings, and participating in local government are already meaningful ways to support the work and the community we hope to serve.
