What this means: 

  • If a hurricane threatens our coasts this summer and fall, you can come here for the coverage you trust. 
  • We’ll be here to help you understand what’s happening with FEMA, NOAA, and other agencies under the Trump administration. 
  • We’ll be able to keep more people safe with our alerts to communities in the path of extreme weather — both in English and Spanish.  

The support from our audience is beyond our wildest dreams and gives us confidence that our reporting resonates with people in a media landscape increasingly wracked by disinformation. YOU built this, and it’s an honor to create a more activated, climate-aware world alongside our donors. 

And this is truly people-powered journalism: The median donation was $50, and 84% of donations were under $100. Our number of sustaining monthly supporters was multiplied by six, which helps us plan our coverage and retain superstar writers. We’re so grateful to everyone who has signed on as a sustaining donor. Will you join them?
