Why give? Simply put, when your neighbors have questions, they rely on PublicSource for in-depth local information. Here are some questions that our stories have explored so far this year:

• How does it feel to go from living in a tent to having your own apartment?

• What happens when fracking makes a family’s home inhabitable?

• How can seniors in our area stay active and involved?

• What is it like to be a pedestrian along Route 51?

• What could change for local trans people as a result of the election?

• Which Pittsburgh public schools face closure — and what have community members proposed instead?

• How are votes counted in Allegheny County?

• Why did so many new restaurants open on East Ohio Street?

If you need another reason to support us on Tuesday, we’ll be offering a x12 match AND special thank you gift offers for new monthly donations! Plus, all one-time donations will be DOUBLED. This is an exciting, limited-time chance to have your support go even further.

Pittsburghers routinely tell us we produce reporting they want and need — but it takes reader support to keep producing it. We hope you’ll make a gift on Tuesday and help sustain paywall-free, fact-checked local journalism for you and your neighbors. If you agree that this opportunity is too important to miss, just click the button below, and we’ll make sure you get a reminder.
