As we head into 2024, our journalists are hard at work preparing for one of the most consequential news cycles of our lifetimes. We need your help to raise $2m to fund our reporting next year as we take on these challenges:

  • The 2024 election: With the threat of another Trump presidency looming, there are countless angles to cover. We’ll be there to explain, contextualize and report on it all.

  • Technology: Artificial intelligence will have sweeping implications for our society. Our deeply sourced reporting team is poised to tackle this topic with the nimbleness and expertise it requires.

  • The climate crisis: We’re getting ready for another year of record heat, floods, wildfires and other natural disasters. We’ll cover the impact of extreme weather while exposing the forces fueling global heating.

  • Investigations: Our reporters will continue uncovering abuses of power, from money in politics to corporate abuse and more.
  • We’ll be counting on readers like you during this year-end fundraiser to help keep us independent, beholden to no outside influence and accessible to everyone – whether they can afford to pay for news, or not. As 2023 comes to a close, please consider supporting us with a year-end gift from $1. Thank you.
