Subject: How you can help Vox do more in 2024

Hi,
One of the hardest parts of being editor-in-chief at Vox is prioritizing the interesting project ideas our editors and journalists come up with. Even if I think the outcome will be an important, nuanced look at an issue or an explainer that gives a clear answer to a common question, sometimes we have to pick and choose where we put our resources because the reality is that they are not limitless.
That's why we're running this end-of-year audience support campaign. When you contribute $25 or $50 today, you help me to say yes to another one of those projects in 2024. And with an election year quickly approaching, there will be no shortage of work for us to take on.
Will you make a contribution today and help us reach 95,000 contributions before the year ends?
Advertising alone isn't enough to fund our work. And we don't have a paywall because we're not in the subscription business. Support from our audience helps keep our explainers and every facet of our journalism free — because we believe everyone needs and deserves access to the most important information of the day.
Our team is one of the best and smartest in the business. They're ready to take on all of the issues of our current world, from immigration policy and the future of AI to whether TikTok is actually influencing youth politics. And I want to send them off to explain as many things as they can.
Today, I hope you'll consider making a contribution to Vox to help us do even more of what we do best: explain the world around us and provide a roadmap to what the future could look like.
