We Noticed You Have An Ad Blocker On.

Can you pitch in a few bucks to help fund Mother Jones' investigative journalism? We're a nonprofit (so it's tax-deductible), and reader support makes up about two-thirds of our budget.

We noticed you have an ad blocker on. Can you pitch in a few bucks to help fund Mother Jones' investigative journalism?

This is where you come in.

We’re a nonprofit newsroom, because the truth-telling investigations we do don’t happen under corporate ownership. We get to shine a bright light into the dark corners of power and report stories other media are afraid to touch. The essential ingredient that makes this possible? Readers like you.

We’ve got a lot of hard, consequential work to do in the weeks and months ahead, and we can’t do it without reader support. Please stand up for independent media and make a donation today.
