Got a few minutes? Let’s walk through the biggest stories we covered in March 2023. Whether you’re catching up on climate action, voting rights, or the latest cultural debates, this quick guide will point you to the pieces that mattered most.
Early March we broke down the Senate’s Green New Deal vote. Our analysis showed how the bill’s climate targets compare to the IPCC’s 1.5°C pathway and why a few swing votes could make or break the rollout. We also interviewed a climate economist who explained in plain terms how the proposed tax credits could lower electricity bills for low‑income households.
Mid‑month, the focus shifted to voting rights. After several states introduced stricter ID laws, our reporters traced the legal battles in real time, highlighting the impact on frontline communities. The piece included a walkthrough of how to file a voter protection complaint, a step‑by‑step guide that many readers found useful on Election Day.
On the cultural front, we covered the rising wave of community‑run media labs in three major cities. These labs give marginalized voices a platform to produce podcasts, documentaries, and local news. Our feature showcased the first season of a podcast produced by a women‑of‑color collective, illustrating how storytelling can reshape public narratives.
We also reported on a nationwide teachers’ strike that demanded better pay and mental‑health resources. By speaking directly with teachers in rural districts, we uncovered the hidden costs of underfunded schools and offered a checklist for parents to support their local educators.
Finally, a special series explored the intersection of digital privacy and social justice. The series warned readers about data‑tracking tools that disproportionately target activist groups. We gave actionable tips: use end‑to‑end encrypted messaging, clear cookies regularly, and support open‑source browsers.
