This summer, a record number of people across the country are hitting the roads and taking to the skies for long-awaited holidays.
We understand that people need a break after two long years in the pandemic. But over the last two months, donations to our hard-hitting journalism have taken a hit — and if we don’t pull ahead soon, we could end up behind for the rest of the year.
This couldn’t be happening at a worse time: We’re ramping up our reporting on critical issues, as the nation reels from a Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade and gears up for a midterm election that could see huge gains for the far right.
We’re also continuing to fight multiple expensive legal battles with costs that have reached well into the six figures.

As a reader, you know that The Intercept provides groundbreaking investigative journalism you can’t get anywhere else.
We expose the moneyed interests. We refuse to cozy up to those in power. And in the process, we make some powerful enemies. This kind of journalism is not cheap or easy, and we couldn’t do it without you.
Your donations provide us with a key source of funding while giving us the independence we need to take on powerful corporations, uncover government secrets, and do it all knowing that you, our readers, will have our backs.
Like most news outlets, our traffic and revenues have declined significantly since Donald Trump left office in 2020. This year we’ve been hard at work closing the gap — but if we hit a slump this summer, we may not have the resources we need for the crucial election season approaching.
At The Intercept, we know that right-wing extremism, corporate wrongdoing, and government corruption never take a vacation. We need to stay on the beat — and your support helps make that possible.
But unfortunately, our fundraising for this summer is behind expectations, and we need your help today to catch up.
Will you make a donation and support our crucial investigative journalism today?
