The republic of India is 75 years old. 75 years since the Constitution was adopted and came into force, even longer since brave men and women fought for us to lead the lives we live today. Lives shrouded in toxic air, lives that could very well be cut short if something doesn’t fundamentally change in the air we’re forced to breathe.
Does this sound too dramatic? We don’t think it’s dramatic enough.
That’s why we’ve launched #FightToBreathe, a collaboration between Newslaundry, experts, readers – and you. Beyond the confines of the news cycle, we’ll dive deep into the root causes for pollution, investigate government action, and come up with actionable solutions. We’ll have text stories and video reports, round-table discussions and cartoons like these. Because this is a year-long issue and it needs year-long focus.
We will be running this campaign alongside our everyday work of reports and podcasts, video stories and shows. And we are powered only by our subscribers, not by ad revenue from governments and corporates. You can power us too. Click here to subscribe, and join the tribe that pays to keep news free.
Newslaundry is a reader-supported, ad-free, independent news outlet based out of New Delhi. Support their journalism, here.
