Wow, the donations keep rolling in and we’re nearly halfway to reaching our fundraising goal — thank you!
Last week we received some incredible news. A group of generous donors have put up $5,000 to match every donation you make until the end of year. That means if you donate $25, if becomes $50. If you donate $50, it becomes $100.
Can you give $25 or $50 today?
Reader-supported, independent journalism is making a difference.
For example, this year DeSmog Canada broke a national news story about how pipeline company Kinder Morgan was keeping its oil spill response plans secret in B.C. while releasing the same plans in full in Washington State. Our story was picked up by the CBC and the Globe and Mail and was raised in the House of Commons during Question Period. Ultimately, the National Energy Board and the pipeline industry were forced to promise increased transparency.
Will you give $25 or $50 today to ensure stories like this one see the light of day?
It’s been an exciting year in Canada and 2016 is sure to be full of energy and climate announcements that need unravelling — but traditional newsrooms have fewer reporters than ever before to do this work. That’s where we come in, but we need your support.
In 2016, DeSmog Canada will:
- Research fossil fuel lobbyists and call out bad actors.
- Provide in-depth reporting on communities affected by resource development.
- Report on the impacts of climate change in Canada.
- Dig deep into new energy and environment policy announcements.
- Counter the misinformation and spin that prevents meaningful discussions about energy and climate change.
Thank you,
Emma Gilchrist
P.S. Our Dec. 31st deadline to raise $20,000 is quickly approaching. Anything you can give will be doubled. r15 |r0
