We have a $25,000 matching grant. Give today!

Tired of reading about elected officials pushing journalists around? Me, too.

Help fortify our newsroom. Help us do our work.

Two generous supporters of The Colorado Independent are offering a $25,000 dollar-for-dollar match for every tax-deductible contribution made to our nonprofit newsroom. Their offer lasts until Friday, July 14th – the night of our annual dance shindig at The Mercury Cafe.

Please help keep our reporters shining light on issues the establishment media ignores. Give today.

Thanks,

A recovering newspaper journalist, Susan reported for papers in California and Nevada before her 13 years as a political reporter, national reporter and metro columnist at The Denver Post. “Trashing the Truth,” a series she reported with Miles Moffeit, helped exonerate five men, prompted reforms on evidence preservation and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in investigative journalism. Her 2012 project, “The Gray Box,” exposed the effects of long-term solitary confinement. The ACLU honored her in 2017 for her years of civil rights coverage, and the Society of Professional Journalists honored her in April with its First Amendment Award. Susan and her two boys live with a puppy named Hymie whom they’re pretty sure is the messiah.
