Hi Reader, 

All year, you’ve seen ProPublica reporters expose one injustice after another. 

• In January: “People Will Die”: The Trump Administration Said It Lifted Its Ban on Lifesaving Humanitarian Aid. That’s Not True.
  
  
• In June: A “Striking” Trend: After Texas Banned Abortion, More Women Nearly Bled to Death During Miscarriage
  
  
• In September: Employers Have Exploited and Abused H-2A Farmworkers for Years. It Doesn’t Have to Be That Way.
  
  
• And just this month: Sick in a Hospital Town, a five-part investigative series that tells the story of American health care through the only hospital in Albany, Georgia.

But if there’s a light at the end of these dark stories, it’s this: Our reporting often gets results. Policies get reversed or new ones are enacted, wrongdoers resign, debts are erased, innocent people are freed and so much more. Our supporters make it possible for us to produce the kind of fact-based, investigative journalism that can spur change.

Thanks so much,
