Hello,

With Diwali around the corner, we’re thinking about what makes the festival meaningful: the warmth of community, the strength of shared values and the hope for a brighter future.

At Scroll, we believe independent, fearless journalism is a public good. It must ask difficult questions, investigate power and serve its readers. To protect our independence from corporate influence and reliance on major advertisers, we depend on one thing above all: you, our readers.

Today, 2,914 members stand with us. We’re just 2,086 members away from our goal of 5,000, the milestone that will make Scroll entirely reader-funded, supported by the people who read our journalism and believe in its value.

As we approach Diwali, help us bring that vision closer to reality.

Become a Scroll member today and help us reach our goal. Your membership is an investment in independent journalism and in a Scroll that is accountable to its readers alone.

Warm regards,
Team Scroll
