Dear reader,
Across America, the free press — one of democracy’s foundations — is under attack. Journalists face threats, billionaires control newspapers, and misinformation is spreading faster than ever. Powerful interests are working to shape the narrative to serve themselves. But VTDigger won’t let that happen in Vermont.
This spring, we’re gearing up to dig like never before. With rapid changes in Washington and pressing challenges facing Vermonters, VTDigger needs your support to shine a light on the facts.
Will you join our Spring Member Drive by donating in the amount that works best for you?
Here, we’re committed to reporting the truth, even when it makes those in power uncomfortable. We believe in giving Vermonters the information they need to make daily decisions, hold their leaders accountable and shape the future of our state.
Issues facing Vermonters right now — economic hardship, housing access, education funding, substance misuse, climate change — need to be discussed in the public sphere in order to develop solutions. With your support this year, VTDigger will:
- Hire a reporter dedicated to covering wealth, poverty, and economic inequality.
- Track and explain how new federal policies will impact Vermonters.
- Deepen our commitment to investigative journalism to ensure transparency in government, business and public institutions.
We need your help to keep up the fight. Will you make a one-time donation, or better yet, become a monthly sustaining member?
Vermont needs VTDigger for fearless, fact-based journalism. And VTDigger needs you.
Sincerely,
Sky Barsch
CEO, VTDigger
