Hi Reader,

The investigative journalism you read here at ProPublica does more than expose wrongdoing and injustice; it can spark real-world change. In fact, that’s the whole reason we exist, and we share the results in public reports <[link removed]> three times a year. Here are some recent examples of change brought on by our reporting:

*

*

Lawmakers Question California Cap and Trade Policies, Citing ProPublica Report <[link removed]> California legislators asked the state Air Resources Board to review its forest offsets program after an investigation by ProPublica and MIT Technology Review found that up to 39 million carbon credits aren’t achieving real climate benefits.

Now Federal Lawmakers Want the EPA to Take Action. <[link removed]> Citing a Palm Beach Post/ProPublica report on the burning of cane fields, leading members of Congress have called for the EPA to investigate air monitoring in Florida and to change national pollution standards.

Democratic Senators Call for Investigation of Tax Avoidance by the Ultrawealthy <[link removed]> Calling ProPublica’s Secret IRS Files series a “bombshell,” Sens.
