| Dear John, If nothing else, the last 12 months of floods, fires, droughts, and other meteorological torments delivered an uncomfortable message: Extreme events are happening more often. And they are happening almost everywhere.
And over the last 12 months, Circle of Blue has covered it all. From sanitation and hygiene in Africa, to the world’s biggest climate conference in Glasgow, to water availability in our homebase of Michigan, Circle of Blue has worked tirelessly to bring you the biggest water stories of 2021.
Our stories inform important decisions that can affect us for generations, from a local council meeting to the World Economic Forum, even the Vatican.
None of this is possible without the support of readers like you. Right now, your donation can go twice as far with a challenge from NewsMatch, a movement to support nonprofit newsrooms like us. Through the end of December, NewsMatch will match your new monthly donation 12 times or double your one-time gift, up to $1,000. With your help, we could raise up to $26,000 in total with this effort.
We can’t predict what awaits us in 2022. But we want to be around for it all. Will you help us get there? |
