🪻There’s no paywall here

Apologies for the brief interruption. We hope you’re finding these fact-based, community-powered updates from our team valuable.

You won’t find a paywall at Planet Detroit—because we believe access to trustworthy, local journalism is essential for a just and informed future.

As Trump-era environmental rollbacks return, and disinformation spreads, independent reporting on climate, health, and equity is more vital than ever. Thanks to reader support, we keep this work free for everyone.

This Earth Month, we’re aiming to raise $5,000 to power local, solutions-focused reporting that protects our environment and our communities. If you can, we’d be grateful if you took a moment to contribute.

Every dollar helps. Thank you.
