In 2022, our journalism will be needed more than ever before.

Friend,

Democracy is in greater danger than we’ve ever seen. An entire major political party in the U.S. has given itself over to an authoritarian movement that is openly using violent insurrection as a legitimate means of seizing political power.

In 2022, our journalism will be needed more than ever before. Will you make a tax-deductible year-end donation to help fuel independent media in the year ahead?

Our small-donor model—with an average gift of just $27—allows us to retain our editorial independence and provide the coverage you have come to expect from us. It’s not about the specific amount, but instead realizing the strength of many people coming together for a common goal.

And let’s be clear: The battle we’re facing today isn’t between right vs. left, or Republicans vs. Democrats. It’s between those who believe in democracy and those who are hostile to it.

In this fight, we cannot be neutral, or democracy itself will not survive. We’ll be here to cover this fight, but we need your help today.

Please help us meet our End-of-Year Campaign goal of $100,000 by midnight on December 31.
