Dear Reader,
The issue of crime is playing an outsized role in the midterm elections, and I’m worried about it.
According to the latest Gallup poll, 56% of Americans think crime has gone up in their area in the last year. It’s the highest increase in people’s perception of crime in 50 years of Gallup polling. That’s obviously been influenced by political attack ads and fear-mongering in this election.
Our national conversation desperately needs more measured and nuanced coverage of criminal justice — coverage that is grounded in facts. That’s the kind of journalism that you’ve hopefully come to expect from The Marshall Project. It takes investigative journalists to dig out the facts that might otherwise remain hidden from public view.
SUPPORT OUR JOURNALISM
This is an important moment for The Marshall Project, and we need your help. As an independent, nonprofit newsroom, we rely on donations from readers like you to sustain our journalism and to help us shine a light on injustice. We hold the powerful to account and amplify the voices of those directly affected by the failures of the criminal justice system.
Today marks the official start of our annual year-end campaign. In the coming weeks, we’ll be highlighting some of our best work from the past year, updating you on the impact we’ve had, letting you know our plans for the future and celebrating the generous supporters who help make our journalism possible.
If you value the critical work we do, will you donate to The Marshall Project today?
Yes! I want to support The Marshall Project.
With thanks,
Carroll
