Connecticut needs you now.

Across the country, reporters and news organizations are challenged, dismissed, even targeted for doing their jobs. It’s happening to CT Mirror journalists, too.

This year, for the first time, CT Mirror has needed to budget for security to protect our reporters at events and large-scale demonstrations where their physical safety was at risk, and even online where reporters have faced harassment.

That’s the environment we're operating in. And it’s exactly why local journalism is needed now.

CT Mirror reporters run toward the hard questions. They dig into budgets, contracts, and submit near-endless information requests to uncover stories that need telling. They sit through the long hearings. They follow the facts wherever they lead. Holding power to account isn’t a slogan here — it’s our mission.

People like you, who read our stories, know that standing alongside our journalists as a member ensures the news Connecticut needs remains independent, local, and free to read.

CT Mirror exists for one reason: to inform and strengthen a civically engaged public. When local journalism is strong, communities are stronger. Transparency improves. Accountability deepens. Democracy works better.

If you believe Connecticut deserves local reporting that is fearless, fair, and accessible to all, can you start a $15 monthly donation today?

Stand with the journalists who stand up for Connecticut and our democracy. Strengthen your community. Be a co-publisher of CT Mirror.

Thank you.
