Don’t let independent media go silent! Mother Jones has until December 31 to raise the last $400,000 we need to keep our nonprofit newsroom running at full strength into 2026. Will you make a gift today?

Dear Mother Jones Reader, 

When powerful people lied, abused the public trust, and covered up the truth, you refused to look away.

And thanks to readers like you, Mother Jones can investigate tough stories and stand up for truth—without worrying about being pulled back by corporate or political interests.

I frankly can’t remember a scarier time for independent journalism, but I also can’t remember a time when I’ve felt more hopeful thanks to so many people who show us, time and again, that they have our backs.

That support matters more than ever right now. Will you help us reach our $400,000 goal before December 31 to keep Mother Jones fiercely independent?

This is what independent journalism looks like: persistent, unflinching, and impossible to silence.

But the fight isn’t over. Authoritarian forces are working to intimidate the press, bury facts, and rewrite the truth. That’s why your support before December 31 is so critical—it keeps our newsroom independent, fearless, and ready to take on what’s next. Can we count on you?

You made this year’s impact possible. Let’s do it again in 2026.

In solidarity,

Monika Bauerlein, CEO
Mother Jones
