We have an urgent ask...

This legislative session, CT Mirror’s stories didn’t just inform the public – they informed decisions. Lawmakers, advocates and residents cited our reporting time and again as they debated bills, questioned officials and pushed for change.

A state representative referenced CT Mirror reporting on early voting costs during a House debate. In a committee hearing on elder care, testimony pointed to our investigation into the lack of standards for home care agencies. During discussions on education funding, a superintendent’s comments to a CT Mirror reporter were repeated to underscore the urgency facing local schools.

Again and again, our reporting framed the issues under consideration:

Our stories on medical debt and human trafficking informed public testimony on bills addressing those issues.

Reporting on earmarks was referenced in conversations about government transparency and reform.

Our Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation into predatory towing practices continues informing legislative reform.

This is how accountability reporting works. It shapes the questions lawmakers ask and the solutions they consider.

Today, during our Gavel Give fundraiser, we're asking you to help sustain this work. We're aiming to raise $36,000 on the final days of the legislative session and we can't do it without you.

Your support ensures that when critical issues come before lawmakers, the facts are already on the table. Will you start a monthly donation today?

Thank you.
