Hi Revealer,

In a recent Reveal episode, I dove into the debate over sustainable investing and how asset managers like Vanguard are using our retirement savings to invest in fossil fuels. I hate to break it to you, but your investments are probably fueling climate change.

It isn’t easy turning a wonky financial story about retirement savings into a compelling radio episode that can grab listeners and keep them interested and engaged for an hour. It takes extensive research, vivid characters, storytelling chops, a great team—and, crucially, the support of listeners like you.

I have exciting news: A generous board member who shares your dedication to our mission has offered to match your gift—dollar for dollar—through December 31. Whatever amount you’re able to give today will go twice as far in fueling unflinching and insightful journalism that can drive real change.

Reporting on obstacles to the energy transition amid climate change can sometimes feel daunting. But it’s reassuring to know that there are so many people around the world working on solutions from all sorts of different angles. That gives me hope. And it’s that type of hope that fuels our mission at Reveal and why we’re so grateful for your support.  

If there’s one thing I learned from this reporting, it is that what we as individuals do with our money really matters. Your money is your power. Your support directly helps bring stories to air that you can’t hear anywhere else, covering the defining issues of our time—like the fight to avoid the worst consequences of climate change.

The future of our climate policy remains uncertain. But one thing is clear: We won’t stop working to hold the powerful to account and to shed light on the path toward a more sustainable future.

While you're at it, I hope you’ll consider starting a recurring monthly donation today. Monthly giving is the most reliable source of funding that we receive, and it’s what we depend on to power our most ambitious reporting and long-term investigations. But whatever you decide and at whatever amount, please help us make the most of this incredible opportunity: Your gift today will go twice as far, fueling the kind of journalism that can drive real change.

Thank you again for believing in our work. It means the world. 

With gratitude,
