Less than 8 hours left. This goal really matters.

Today is New Year’s Eve. We’re almost out of time to reach our year-end fundraising goal of $500,000.

This deadline is not some made-up fundraising gimmick. When the clock strikes midnight and the ball drops, we close the books on 2022, and we cannot afford to begin 2023 behind where we need to be financially.

There has never been a more important moment to become a member of The Intercept. Can you chip in $5 before midnight?

The Intercept is nearly alone in focusing our coverage on who profits and who pays for the decisions made by the political and corporate elite. We’re not waiting for the next dramatic scandal; we think “business as usual” is one.

But exposing the shocking reality of corruption and militarism is expensive work. It requires both thankless hours of old-school reporting and the resources only a modern news organization can provide.

And it’s not the kind of thing that makes shareholders or advertisers happy — which is why it’s so important that we meet our reader fundraising goal tonight.

To continue this ambitious reporting in 2023 and beyond, we still need to raise $40,000 by midnight. Please donate now.
