Dear Friend,

This is my final appeal. The time to act is now. After midnight tonight, the 2X year-end match ends forever. 

We are writing to you one last time because we know you value truly independent, trustworthy journalism, and don't want you to wake up tomorrow having missed this opportunity to double your impact for PBS News in 2026 and beyond.

We're in the final push to reach our year-end goal, and we need every supporter who is able to step forward. Your gift today—matched dollar-for-dollar—could be the one that puts us over the top. 

PBS News has served this country with integrity for 50 years. We've covered wars and elections, natural disasters and scientific breakthroughs, moments of crisis, and moments of triumph. Through it all, we've remained committed to one thing: serving you – and millions across our country – with journalism you can trust.

Now we're facing our greatest test, and we need you by our side. 

Without federal funding, we're building a new model—one powered by people who believe in what we do. Your matched monthly gift today helps us build that sustainable future. 

Whatever amount is right for you, make it count twice as much by giving TODAY. 

The time to act is NOW. 

In a few hours, 2025 will end. The match will expire. And this important opportunity from the Steel Family Fund will be gone. Please don't let that happen. Make your doubled year-end gift right now. 

Thank you for everything you do to support PBS News. Thank you for believing in our mission. And thank you for acting today to help us continue this vital work. 

With profound gratitude and optimism for what we'll achieve together in 2026, 

Mike and Aly

P.S. MIDNIGHT DEADLINE. After tonight, the 2X match is gone forever. This is your last chance to double your impact and we need your support. Please give NOW.
