We have some troubling news to share.

With just hours left, The Intercept is still 1,800 people short of reaching our goal of adding 4,000 new monthly donors.

This is no time for investigative journalism to be cutting back or trimming sails.

The Intercept was founded to stand up against corrupt abuses of power and tyrannical governments — and we are powered by readers who give a shit about the world around them.

That’s why we’ve set such an ambitious goal for this spring’s fundraising drive. We can get there, but we need you to step up.

Will you support the hard-hitting investigative journalism of The Intercept by chipping in $5 a month?

The best way you can help support The Intercept is by becoming a monthly donor, chipping in some small amount every month to give us the ongoing support we need to stand up to powerful interests and take on ambitious, long-term investigations.

As a nonprofit organization, we rely on our monthly sustaining donors to provide a strong foundation to fund our work. We don’t accept corporate ads on our website or charge a subscription fee.

There are a million places where you can go for hot takes in response to the latest news. What we do is different. We’ll spend months tracking down leads, developing sources, analyzing data, and sometimes even filing lawsuits to get access to the information we need to uncover the truth.

If we don’t reach our fundraising goals, we’ll face some very difficult choices. That’s why we’re coming to you today and asking you to step up and become a sustaining donor.
