Hi Reader,

Our spring member drive wraps up tonight, and before the day is over, I hope you’ll dedicate a few minutes and a few dollars to join us and support independent journalism that shines a light on corruption and holds people in power to account.

Much of our funding comes from our readers — folks like you who know the value of fact-based, well-researched reporting that demands transparency from the most powerful people and institutions in our country.

Over the last two weeks, more than 1,700 ProPublicans stepped up and made donations, giving us the critical funding we need to pursue investigations into government institutions, corporations, elected leaders and much more. I’m so grateful to each and every one of our members who power our reporting, and I hope you’ll join us by tonight.

With only hours left before this member drive is over, we’re counting on you to stand up for the power of journalism to right wrongs and create real-world impact.

Thanks so much,

Jill Shepherd
Proud ProPublican
