Dear Name,

As an Evergreen member, you play a crucial role in supporting independent, fact-based reporting and investigative journalism that sparks real-world impact.

CapRadio’s year-long investigation into the U.S. Forest Service after the Caldor Fire discovered that the agency failed to protect the residents of Grizzly Flats from a devastating wildfire scenario that they predicted 20 years earlier.

Reporters from CapRadio constructed this story by conducting extensive interviews and combing through troves of documents and datasets that were obtained from nearly two dozen Freedom of Information Act requests — prompting a bipartisan group of U.S. Congress members to call for answers from the Forest Service’s top official and condemn the agency’s “egregious” shortcomings.

Nonprofit journalism like this has the power to transform lives, and it is your support that enables us to continue delivering on our public service mission.

“I depend upon CapRadio for news and perspective on the events of the community and political implications of actions locally and globally.”
 - CapRadio Member Elba, Elk Grove
