As America teeters on the brink of chaos, its newsrooms are being put to the ultimate test. The values that once defined journalism - fairness, accuracy and a commitment to truth - are under siege from all sides.
At the Guardian, we remain steadfast in our resolve to uphold these core principles, even when it's easiest to compromise or retreat. Our editorial decision-making is guided by a clear set of values that prioritize people over profit, and fact over fiction. We refuse to be swayed by corporate or political interests, instead choosing to report on the stories that need telling.
It's no secret that we'll be covering some of the darkest moments in American history - from extrajudicial killings to racist attacks on immigrants. But what's often overlooked is the resilience and activism of ordinary people fighting for a better future.
In recent weeks, our new movements reporting team has been sounding out stories about grassroots activists who are pushing back against oppression and promoting social change. From climate justice protests to police reform rallies, these stories are often too complex or nuanced to get on the national agenda - but they're essential to understanding what's really happening in this country.
This is why we need your support now more than ever. Giving Tuesday is a critical moment for our organization, and every donation counts. Your contribution will help us fund our reporting, from the big picture to the local level, and ensure that we can continue to amplify these underreported stories.
But here's the thing: we're not just in this together because of financial necessity. We're in it because we believe that journalism has the power to bring people together, to inspire hope and action in the face of adversity. And we need your support to keep doing what we do best - holding those in power accountable, and giving voice to those who are often silenced.
So on this Giving Tuesday, please consider making a donation to the Guardian. It may be small, but every dollar counts. And even if you can't give today, know that our work is free for you because of your support. We're proud to have a community of readers and donors who understand that good journalism is not just a luxury, but a necessity in these tumultuous times.
