Every month, millions of people read or listen to The Intercept’s reporting — but fewer than 1 percent of them donate to make it possible.
It’s never been more important that our journalism be available to everyone, not hidden behind a paywall. As governments and corporations make unprecedented life-or-death decisions, the public deserves to know what’s happening behind closed doors.
Because The Intercept doesn’t charge for subscriptions, our work is made possible by committed and generous people who are able to step up and become members – which right now many of our devoted readers can’t afford to do.
That’s why our goal of raising $500,000 by May 31 is so important. To take on ambitious new reporting projects in such an uncertain environment requires confidence that we’ll have the resources to carry them through.
With for-profit news organizations collapsing left and right, The Intercept is a nonprofit that publishes in-depth investigative reporting.
While most media remains focused on case counts and death tolls, our reporters are uncovering how those in power are taking deadly risks at others’ expense – and employing the pandemic as a pretext to expand the surveillance state.
These stories are breaking through and garnering widespread attention. The stories Intercept journalists tell now — about who lives and dies, and who amasses greater power and wealth along the way — have the potential not only to shape the election in November but to reverberate politically for years to come.
