Hi Reader,
All year, you’ve seen ProPublica reporters expose one injustice after another. In January, we explained how Chicago’s “race-neutral” traffic cameras ticket Black and Latino drivers the most. In June, we reported that casinos in Atlantic City pleaded poverty to get a huge tax break from New Jersey, even though their profits were at a decade high. And just last month, we published a story about how Tennessee’s extreme voting restrictions have disenfranchised 21% of its Black residents.
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.
Join ProPublica today with a gift of any amount. If you do, it will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $9,000 by an anonymous family. Your support will be twice as powerful as it helps our reporters shine a light on corruption and injustice in our government, corporations and other powerful people and institutions.
Help ProPublica raise an extra $9,000 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
