A request I’m humbly asking you to consider

We have never been more in need of clear-eyed journalism that confronts the unchecked corporate, political, and military power at the root of the overlapping crises we face.

I know The Intercept has been sending you a lot of emails lately, but I'm hoping you'll take a few minutes to read why I think this week's deadline is so important.

As if the Trump years weren't enough of a wake-up call, the world now risks being engulfed in a war begun by a nuclear-armed petrostate. The forces of imperial aggression, right-wing pseudo-populism, rampant misinformation, and climate breakdown continue to advance.

There is a relationship between our poisoned information ecology and our poisoned physical ecologies — and fearless reporting is a key part of the solution.

This is no time for The Intercept to scale back. We have never been more in need of clear-eyed journalism that confronts the unchecked corporate, political, and military power at the root of the overlapping crises we face.

Yet instead of making plans to expand their coverage to meet this moment, right now my colleagues are scrambling to cut expenses. While The Intercept was fortunate to be founded with the support of a major philanthropist, we've increasingly come to depend on the generosity of readers. But since the 2020 election, The Intercept has gradually lost more than 4,000 of the monthly donors like you who sustain our work.

To replace that loss, we've launched an ambitious campaign to boost our monthly donors – and our campaign deadline is midnight tomorrow.

I know that Intercept readers like you remain committed to this unique nonprofit newsroom. But with less than 36 hours left before our campaign deadline, I'm hoping you'll consider becoming a monthly donor now.
