Hi Reader — 

All year, you’ve seen ProPublica reporters expose one outrage after another: the IRS says it audits the poor more often than the rich because it’s cheaper, the Trump Organization reports two different sets of numbers to the government and investors (without consequence), there’s a secret Facebook group where Border Patrol agents joke about migrant deaths and post racist memes, and so much more. 

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 more. Our supporters make it possible for us to produce this kind of fact-based, investigative journalism, and spur the change that can result.

On #GivingNewsDay, I’m asking you to support ProPublica by making a donation.

If you give this morning, your donation will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $20,000, by NewsMatch. Your support will be twice as powerful as it helps our reporters shine a light on corruption and injustice in our government, corporations, and more. 

Help ProPublica raise an extra $20,000 by joining us right now, so that we can continue this critically important work into the next decade. 

Thanks so much,
Jill Shepherd
Proud ProPublican

P.S. Donate any amount today and get a ProPublica laptop sticker, or join us at $50 or more, and get the new ProPublica tote!
