Take a moment to read this urgent message from our CEO

As The Intercept’s CEO, I want to be clear about two things:

First, this is a moment of moral crisis for journalism. Most corporate outlets are failing to inform the American public about how their government is facilitating Israel’s mass killing of civilians in Gaza. Those who dissent risk being fired or ostracized.

Second, The Intercept’s courageous challenge to this unacceptable status quo is only possible because of readers like you who chip in what they can to support independent journalism.

Right now, our board of directors, together with a generous group of individual major donors, has pledged to match $100,000 in reader donations. Donate now and your support will be doubled — and you’ll ensure this nonprofit newsroom has the resources it needs to start 2024 strong.

Please, don’t delay. Your gift today is a powerful contribution to journalism that confronts a shameful silence — and it will be matched 100 percent.

When I became The Intercept’s inaugural CEO earlier this year, I knew I was joining a uniquely important newsroom.

Even so, the last few months have been eye-opening. Not just because of the urgent need to tell the world about the horror in Gaza, but also because so many other journalists and politicians are busy sweeping Israel’s atrocities under the rug.

In this climate of fear and enforced consensus, I’m inspired by how The Intercept’s reporters and editors have rallied to the task of publishing sharp, courageous journalism that exposes how U.S. weapons and dollars are fueling the mass murder of Palestinian civilians.

But as the person responsible for balancing The Intercept’s budget, take it from me: There are no corporate advertisers or wealthy institutions beating down our door to pay for this coverage. That’s why this year-end match is such an important opportunity.

So I’m making this personal request: Will you donate to The Intercept today? Your gift will be matched dollar for dollar.
