ember Report Your regular update on how the The Marshall Project's journalism is driving change.

Dear <<First Name>>,

Thank you for believing in the power of our journalism.

We are incredibly grateful to the more than 600 generous supporters who donated to The Marshall Project during our ‘Journalism and Justice’ campaign. We surpassed our goal of $100,000 in donations from readers like you. These will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a generous group of board members to help us produce more journalism that holds the powerful to account, sheds light on injustice, and amplifies the voices of those affected by our justice system.

As a donor to The Marshall Project, you can expect regular updates from me about our work and how your donation is making a difference. Below is our latest Impact Report, which highlights our reporting over the past few months and the impact it has had on policymakers, advocates and other media. In it, you can read more about The Language Project which includes pieces by and about people with personal experience of incarceration. The series makes public our decision to avoid labels such as “inmate” in favor of person-first language. NPR’s On the Media dedicated a segment to our work, and we led a workshop that was attended by more than 300 people from newsrooms across the country.

You can also read the latest updates from our Pulitzer Prize-winning series on the devastating toll inflicted by police dogs across the country. The latest installment exposed shocking disparities in the Baton Rouge Police Department’s use of K-9s. Just hours after our story ran, Baton Rouge Mayor Sharon Broome directed the police chief to stop using dogs on juvenile suspects “for mere flight.”

We are proud to be your go-to source for trustworthy information about the criminal justice system. Your support — knowing that you're behind us — means so much right now.

Thank you for making our work possible.

With thanks,

AJ Pflanzer
