Our Mission


Our goal is one of public service: to listen to and center people affected by institutional injustices and provide our community with the perspectives, information, and resources needed to hold power to account. We promote transparency and accountability in the court system through our large-scale, investigative projects. We work to ensure equitable access to information and strengthen democracy through intentional audience engagement and community-building.

Our work is guided by our core values of accessibility, community, collaboration, and care.

As a nonprofit newsroom, we rely on the support of our readers to sustain our mission and work. You can support our public service journalism by making a tax-deductible donation.
