Your newsletter is below and contains critical information you'll want to read, so I'll keep this short:
Today, we join hundreds of organizations for #GivingTuesdayNow — a response to the pandemic that encourages people to contribute what they can to nonprofits they believe in.
We've raised $10,378 to help sustain our coronavirus coverage and have about 12 hours to reach our goal of $15,000. Will you help us cross the finish line? Your gift will go directly to sustaining our service journalism in a time when quality, trusted information is needed most.
