This series has reminded me why the work Capital B is doing is so crucial. Even in this difficult time for journalism, we're pushing forward. Our new three-year plan charts how we'll continue serving Black communities with reporting that informs, connects, and creates change.

We've explored how residents in Mississippi are documenting Black history, how advocates in Minnesota are defending their basic right to vote as federal protections are eroded, and how women in Texas are fighting for clean air.

At Capital B, we believe that news can cut through confusion, point to solutions, and remind us that change is possible.
