Dear Reader,

Today marks the start of our spring fundraising campaign — and two major supporters have stepped up to help us build momentum. Because they believe deeply in the future of local journalism and PublicSource’s role in this region, they’re matching all donations through June 17, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000.

Your support today will go twice as far to power the kind of journalism that informs, inspires and connects our community.

Over the past year, support from readers like you has helped power stories that:

• Provided campaign analysis, election results and accountability for elected officials.

• Tracked how local universities and colleges are responding to the Trump administration’s federal changes to higher ed. 

• Inspired changes to Allegheny County Jail’s protocol for administering addiction medication.

• Reported on Pittsburgh, Allegheny County and allied agencies embarking on a disparity study about race-conscious government contracting.

• Investigated efforts to cut down on the number of people living in tents Downtown by adding rocks to former encampment sites.

Sincerely,

Halle Stockton
Co-Executive Director, Editor-in-Chief
