Journalism is a bridge to power. As public officials make policies that could have major affects on your life and the lives of other Minnesotans, the talented, dedicated journalists in MinnPost’s nonprofit newsroom are there to hold policy-makers accountable for how they wield their power.

But our work goes beyond that. Especially when actions in the halls of power feel remote, if not overwhelming, it’s important to remember that there’s power in our communities, at the local level. MinnPost is your trusted guide to the challenges and opportunities we face, and through our thoughtful, in-depth coverage, we’re here to empower you to be active in shaping Minnesota’s future.

Because of this critical role we play, we make all of our journalism available for free to you and all Minnesotans. This radical, paywall-free approach is only possible thanks to support from members. Will you step up with a tax-deductible donation right now?

Any amount you can give makes a difference and keeps us on track toward hitting our goals for the year.

Your support is absolutely critical to the work of our nonprofit newsroom and our ability to make our thoughtful, independent reporting available to all Minnesotans. Are you with us?

P.S. We believe the vital role independent journalism plays is too important to hide behind a paywall for profit. If you share that belief, please join us in making MinnPost possible with a donation today. Truly, any amount makes a difference!
