Help us raise $1.25m to fund high impact journalism in the new year

As America enters a new chapter, the need for robust, fact-based journalism that highlights injustice and offers solutions is as great as ever. We're asking our US readers to help us raise $1.25m to support our reporting in the new year

2020 has been an epic year for America - and a critical test of democracy and the free press. Throughout the coronavirus pandemic and the presidential election, misinformation and attacks on science have distorted public perceptions. But your support has helped the Guardian deliver ambitious journalism grounded in facts and the truth.

We need your help to carry on this essential work in 2021 - and to keep the Guardian's journalism free and open to all readers.
