Vox is offering a unique holiday gift to its members: when someone joins as an annual member, Vox will match that purchase by giving away a free membership to someone who can't afford access. This initiative aims to double the impact of each new membership.
The program works thusly: when you buy an annual plan between November 24 and January 5, Vox will give one full year of access to someone in need. As a Vox Member, you'll still get all the perks - unlimited website reading, ad-free podcasts, and exclusive video content on Patreon. However, your membership will now also provide these benefits to someone else.
If cost is an obstacle for you, don't worry: you can apply for a free matched membership. Vox wants its community to reflect its diverse audience, so if you'd like to join but can't afford it, submit an application, and one will be activated starting in January.
This holiday campaign serves as a reminder of the power of collective support. By choosing to become a Vox Member, not only are you contributing to high-quality journalism, but also helping to expand access to those who need it most.

This is so cool! I love that Vox is doing this, it's amazing how their community spirit shines through 
. Giving back to people who can't afford access is the best part of this program, it's like a big hug for everyone in need 
. It makes me think about all the great things we have and how we can use our resources to help others. I'm definitely considering upgrading my membership plan this holiday season, not just for myself, but for someone who needs it 
. It's awesome that Vox is taking a stand for equality and access, and I hope more companies follow their lead 
.
Ah man, a gift that keeps on giving... literally! This is pretty cool, I guess. So when someone buys an annual plan, we get a free membership to give away? That's some generous stuff right there 
. It's like Vox is trying to make up for the fact that its content is so good it should just be free anyway 
. But seriously, this is a great way to spread the love and help out those who can't afford it. It's all about community and collective support, which is pretty cool. Maybe we should start calling Vox members "gift-givers" now? 
i'm so down 4 this new vox thing!! they r doin somethin rite by offerin free memberships 2 ppl who cant afford it lol wat a great way 2 spread the love n make journalism more accessible 4 evryone! 
like, if u can afford it, u should def join & get those perks 4 urself & someone els who needs a break 
This is literally the coolest thing I've ever seen from a media outlet! Not only do they offer amazing content, but now they're basically creating a ripple effect of kindness too 
! And for those who can't afford it, Vox is offering a way out too - it's not about being able to pay, it's about wanting to be part of this community 
. This holiday campaign just shows how much they care about the people who matter most 
.
just thought about this and 70% of people in the US can't afford a decent internet plan let alone a $100/year membership 
did some research and found that 40% of Vox's current members are between 25-44 years old, which is also the age range most likely to be affected by internet costs 
so yeah, this program is a solid way to spread the love... stats show that every dollar invested in journalism yields an ROI of 10:1 
if we scale this up, it could make a HUGE impact on media literacy and access for underprivileged communities 
... No offense to Vox and their good intentions, but it's just another way for them to take advantage of us being decent humans 
. And have you seen the state of the economy lately? 
And yeah, if cost is an issue, they've got a way out - just apply for the free membership, and voilà! 
, makes me wanna sign up ASAP 
hope they keep this up in the new year 
️
just learned about this awesome Vox deal - basically, I pay for a year of membership and someone else gets it for free 
!
so if ur thinking of getting an annual membership this holiday season, not only are u getting some awesome perks but also helping out someone in need
