Dear Reader,

During this crisis, when the future of education seems so uncertain, the ability to access clear and informative news about the state of our schools and the health of our students and families is more important than ever. Hechinger Report journalists are working tirelessly to bring you reporting you can trust. Your support will ensure local residents have continued access to the news and information needed to stay connected and informed during this public health crisis. 

We’ll get through this together. 

We’re trying to raise $10,000 by midnight to help cover the costs of our emergency reporting efforts. We’re halfway there, with $5,000 already pledged and/or raised.
 

Will you take that first step to join your fellow community of readers and education supporters by investing in us today?

Thanks to the support of our readers, we have been able to offer our content in Spanish, cover topics like the effect of education on climate change, and travel to understand the education received by refugees. But now, in this time of the coronavirus when our systems of education are strained by financial pressures, declining student enrollment, inaccessible technologies, and more, the need for our reporting is more urgent than ever.

We’re grateful that so many in our community clearly value the critical role local journalism plays during the coronavirus crisis.  It's our mission to provide in-depth education news for free to all who need it. If you can can afford to pitch in, will you? Many more will benefit from your generosity.

With gratitude,
Liz, Editor in Chief
The Hechinger Report
