Do Good Spotlight on: ProPublica
ProPublica is an independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism with moral force. They dig into important issues, shining a light on abuses of power and betrayals of public trust — and they stick with those issues through to resolution, to hold people accountable for their actions.
With a team of more than 100 dedicated journalists, ProPublica covers a range of topics including government and politics, business, criminal justice, the environment, education, health care, immigration, and technology. They focus on stories with the potential to real change. We donated this week and here’s where you can learn more and consider donating too.
That’s it for this week’s issue. I hope the rest of your week is great–and Happy Halloween!
