The Intercept - Unfortunate news to share

We have less than 24 hours left in our year-end fundraising drive, and as of this moment we’re almost $300,000 short of our $625,000 goal.

This is not good.

We’d hoped we wouldn’t have to send such an alarming email at this point in our campaign, but we feel obligated to make sure you, as The Intercept’s readers, aren’t left in the dark.

There’s still time to catch up, but we’re going to have to push hard.

Our records indicate that you haven’t yet made a year-end donation to The Intercept. So we’re asking you now: Will you chip in $5 today?

This is the most challenging time we’ve ever faced for independent journalism.

Big Tech firms like Google, X, and Facebook are systemically throttling traffic to news sites in order to keep people on their platforms.

Billionaires like Erik Prince can weaponize libel law to try to shut down journalism they don’t like.

Advocates for the free press report an alarming rise of violence against journalists around the world, including targeted assassinations.

Reader donations aren’t some nice bonus. They are a core source of revenue, and if we fall short of our goals, that translates directly into fewer resources for reporting.

Donate $5 now and help The Intercept meet our critical year-end fundraising goal.
