I’m writing to you today because we’re approaching the midpoint of 2023, and unfortunately we’ve fallen behind the pace we need to keep The Intercept’s investigative journalism going strong.

Your place for
news and action Friday June 23, 2023 The bus was driving fast, too fast for the narrow dirt road north of Prince George. Rain fell all morning as muddy white trucks whipped by the bus windows.
On board were 24 housekeepers headed to Coastal GasLink’s Parsnip Lodge, to clean rooms at the sprawling, 1,000-man pipeline camp.
The cleaners are mostly immigrant women from Somalia and Ethiopia. They were nervous about the road, and unhappy about the long, winding drive from Prince George.
Earlier this year, the cleaners’ union filed a grievance against the camp operator for breaking their collective agreement. ...

Over the next year and a half, political journalism will face the unprecedented situation of covering a presidential race in which the leading challenger to the incumbent administration is a former president facing 37 federal criminal charges.
We’re facing this moment at perhaps the worst possible time for the news industry.
Overall newsroom employment at newspapers has crashed by more than 50 percent since 2008. The local press has been decimated. Digital news outlets like BuzzFeed News, FiveThirtyEight, and Vice, which were once seen as a part of journalism’s bright future, are announcing major layoffs or shutting down completely.

Paov,
Canada is facing its worst year of wildfires ever.
So far, 2,697 fires have ravaged communities from coast to coast to coast, sweeping through roughly 5.8 million hectares of land.1 International firefighters arriving in Quebec said the blazes are 100 times larger than anything they’ve seen before.2
It’s enraging to watch our federal government pay lip service to the crisis, while pouring billions of public dollars into the fossil fuel industry and letting Big Oil weaken critical climate legislation. Just last week, when the Trudeau government finally introduced the Sustainable Jobs legislation it had promised for years, it turned out to be a plan to make a plan by the end of 2025.3
Even in the face of unprecedented fires, our government isn’t acting at the scale and speed required. That’s why we’re hitting the streets to demand federal leaders stop fuelling climate chaos. Will you join the “Canada is Burning” Day of Action next Wednesday, June 28?
