Hi Reader,

Yesterday, we began our two-week spring member drive, and I’m thrilled to say that already, more than 150 readers stepped up with a donation. Join them with your gift of any amount. We need folks like you to support our deep-dive journalism that holds the powerful to account by shining a light on corruption and injustice.

We shine that light with a purpose: Our mission is to use the moral force of investigative journalism to spur change. Our work has led to laws being passed, people resigning from powerful positions, victims receiving compensation and much more. We carefully track the impact of our work, and here are a few recent examples of stories that led to action:

• Legislation to Support Stillbirth Prevention Heads to House After Unanimous Senate Approval
  Following ProPublica’s reporting on the nation’s stillbirth crisis, a bipartisan group of senators reintroduced a bill to fund prevention. After the Senate passed the legislation unanimously in September, the House is expected to take it up next.

• Senate Investigation “Casts Fresh Doubt” About the Validity of Harlan Crow's Yacht Tax Deductions
  In their extensive probe, Senate investigators found evidence to suggest Crow has made repeated misrepresentations to the U.S. government. ProPublica revealed the tax maneuvers in a previous story.

• The American Museum of Natural History to Close Exhibits Displaying Native American Belongings
  The change is in response to new federal regulations that went into effect this year following reporting by ProPublica on institutional failures to return Native American remains and sacred objects to tribes.

• Amid Recall Crisis, Philips Agrees to Stop Selling Sleep Apnea Machines in the United States
  The breathing machine manufacturer has faced relentless criticism over its handling of the 2021 recall of millions of devices. Philips must meet the requirements outlined in an agreement with the Justice Department before it can resume sales.

We’ll never stop shining a light on abuses of power and breaches of the public trust in an effort to hold people in power accountable. And thanks to donations from folks like you, we’re growing larger, getting stronger and spurring more impact than ever before. Give today, and help ProPublica ensure that we continue to have the resources to follow the most important stories wherever they lead — for however long it takes.

Thanks so much,
Jill Shepherd
Proud ProPublican
