Your support is essential to our non-profit newsroom. [View this email in a browser.]( Hi- Did you see this note from Clayton on Wednesday? Clayton shared some of the impactful stories his team has reported. We wanted to forward it and bump it to the top of your inbox to make sure you had a chance to read it. Here's the thing: It's a challenging financial time for media organizations - particularly non-profit newsrooms like Gothamist's. [That's why we're asking for your support.]( Today is the last day of our September fundraising campaign. We're including a [limited edition diner mug]( (pics below) as our gift when you donate $5 a month or more. [Can you chip in and support us?]( Gratefully,
-Team Gothamist P.S. If you can't decide which mug you like best, we'll include [all four mugs]( with a $15/month donation. Begin forwarded message: From: Clayton Guse - Gothamist

Subject: Can you spare a minute to read this? Hi Gothamist Reader, I’m Clayton Guse, an editor on the accountability desk at WNYC and Gothamist. Our desk covers the way New York City works — and, quite often, how it fails to do so. Our team has covered the city’s neglected mass transit systems and uncovered decades of [ill-advised financial decisions]( which now threaten the MTA’s ability to run the city’s subways and buses. We’ve highlighted [stark disparities in access]( to literacy education for dyslexic students at public schools. We’ve uncovered an NYPD officer who [littered a Brooklyn block]( for years while skirting any significant disciplinary action. [Our reporting is crucial work.]( It’s the meat and potatoes of what holds government officials' feet to the fire — and what gives a voice to those without one. The kind of journalism we do is slowly disappearing in New York. The funding structures that once made the city’s local media thrive have unraveled. Essential coverage once taken for granted is becoming more of a distant memory. [I Support Gothamist]( But Gothamist is different. We’re a non-profit newsroom [funded by readers]( and take this model seriously. When we sweat all night on a story, whether it’s a rich audio piece on the radio or a compelling written investigation online, we do it because we work for the people — you. [We need your donation to continue this coverage,]( expand our scope, and help make this city and region a better place for all who call it home. Here’s why to give right now: We’ll include a colorful diner mug featuring one of our most popular topics on Gothamist: a rat. You can use one to drink your coffee as you start your day or perhaps something a tad more “substantial” as you unwind in the evening. [Get the Mug]( [When you support Gothamist]( and our newsroom, I promise it’s money well invested. [Clayton Guse] Warmly,
