Yesterday was Giving Tuesday, a national day dedicated to supporting the work that strengthens communities and defends democracy.
This year, the stakes are high. The country is facing unprecedented challenges: rising authoritarianism, attacks on due process, housing failures, mass surveillance, and the quiet dismantling of civil liberties.
The Vanguard exists because someone must keep watch. Someone must push for transparency in our courts, our local government, and the systems that shape real lives. We’ve done that work for years — not because it’s easy, but because it’s necessary.
And today, you have the chance to double your impact.
A generous supporter has offered a Giving Tuesday matching challenge — every donation made today will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to the match limit.
That means:
- $25 becomes $50
- $50 becomes $100
- $100 becomes $200
- $500 becomes $1,000
Your support ensures we can continue:
- Investigating wrongful convictions and prosecutorial misconduct
- Covering court proceedings the public rarely sees
- Reporting on housing, democracy, civil rights, and justice reform
- Training the next generation of truth-driven young reporters
We don’t take government money. We don’t rely on corporate advertisers.
We rely on people like you — people who believe journalism still matters.
Please give today, while your gift will go twice as far!!
Donations of any size and through any method qualify for the match. To donate today, visit davisvanguard.org/donate
