| Hi there, It goes without saying that 2020 has been an incredibly hard year for so many people around the world. Generosity is particularly needed this Giving Tuesday. There are so many ways to do good, but it can be hard to know where to start. Vox has an entire section, Future Perfect, for people who believe we have a moral duty to help each other, and that we should do so in more effective ways. We explain things like the history of Giving Tuesday, provide a framework for how to make the world a better place, reveal the science behind gratitude and giving, and identify the most high-impact, cost-effective, evidence-based places to donate to improve a range of issues, including US climate policy and criminal justice reform. I encourage you to check it out. I hope these resources from Future Perfect will help you consider the most effective ways you can give this holiday season and make a plan for doing so. After you make a charitable giving plan, you may also want to consider making a contribution to Vox. From climate change to poverty to the coronavirus, we take seriously the role we play in helping the public understand the messy, complicated problems that need to be solved — and ideas on how to solve them. If you value free information and knowledge, then consider a gift to Vox this Giving Tuesday. http://vox.com/giving-tuesday Vox is not a nonprofit organization, and, as we shared above, there are many incredible nonprofits that are making a huge impact that you should consider giving to. But audience support allows us to keep our journalism free for everyone, and do the important work that you — our audience — want to see. The importance of your support is perhaps most evident in our coverage of the coronavirus crisis. Reporter German Lopez has been tracking the United States' chaotic Covid-19 response, including explaining why some surges at the state level have been worse than others. "One thing that's struck me is how much the mistakes repeat themselves," German says. "But that's where journalism can come in: By explaining these common mistakes, and emphasizing the expert advice on what to do about Covid-19, the public is informed on how to act — even if their leaders don't — and can help stop this virus from spreading." Your financial contributions help us be less reliant on advertising, and keep our work free for everyone who needs it. Help keep Vox's journalism free for all. Give today. Your generosity to Vox and to other organizations dedicated to a fairer, more just, and more equitable world is greatly appreciated, now more than ever. In gratitude, Allison Rockey
