What People Say About Us…

“Who does New Hampshire want to have its back when the next hare-brained, get-rich-quick, cockeyed, scenery-trashing, money-grubbing scheme threatens New Hampshire’s greatest legacy---it landscape? Well, I’ll want the reporters and editors at InDepthNH.org---the only news medium that staffed the critical Northern Pass hearings, from beginning to end. InDepthNH.org---good, solid, statewide news coverage, the kind you can depend on, the way things used to be and the way they should.”
John Harrigan, writer
Colebrook

"We desperately need investigative news organizations like InDepthNH to counter the fake Facebook postings and toxic partisan diatribe masquerading as the truth. I’m immensely grateful to InDepthNH for the invaluable work they do."
Gloria Norris
Filmmaker, author of KooKooland

“New Hampshire owes a debt of gratitude to IndepthNH.org for its investigative journalism covering government accountability issues. It has been a pleasure teaming up with them to enhance government transparency and accountability in the Granite State.”  
Gilles Bissonnette
ACLU-NH Legal Director

"The arrival of InDepthNH.org has been a game changer. It has filled the void of providing investigative journalism in New Hampshire. InDepthNH.org has provided ethical, quality journalism on issues that impact the lives of New Hampshire citizens daily. In addition to giving a voice and a platform to those who would otherwise be voiceless."
Beatrice Coulter, RN

  • ACLU Lawsuit Challenges Terminated Student Status of Students in NH, Mass., Maine, R.I., and Puerto Rico

    CONCORD, N.H. - Four ACLU affiliates and law firm Shaheen & Gordon filed a federal class action lawsuit on Friday seeking to represent over 100 students in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, and Puerto Rico who had their F-1 student immigration status unlawfully and abruptly terminated with no specified reason as to why. The lawsuit asks the court to reinstate their F-1 student status, which would allow them to continue their studies.  “We continue to be alarmed by the Trump administration’s sudden termination of student statuses at universities across the country without any notice or stated explanation,” said Gilles Bissonnette, Legal Director of the ACLU of New Hampshire.

  • Active with the Activists: April 19, a New Uprising Against Tyranny, NH Rallies List

    By Arnie Alpert, Active with the Activists Arnie Alpert spent decades as a community organizer/educator in NH movements for social justice and peace.  Officially retired since 2020, he keeps his hands (and feet) in the activist world while writing about past and present social movements. Arnie Alpert Two weeks after the last national day of anti-Trump protests and two hundred and fifty years after American patriots fired the “shot heard round the world” in Lexington, Massachusetts, April 19 will be another day of nationwide demonstrations, many of them with a theme of “No Kings.” At least sixteen demonstrations are planned in New Hampshire, from Colebrook to Kingston and Portsmouth the Keene.  Organizers of a rally planned at the State House steps in Concord said, “the event is a reminder that the fight against tyranny is ongoing—and that power must always remain in the hands of the people, not a single individual.” Indivisible, a national network of local activist groups, was listing 871 demonstrations on its national protest map at 4:30 pm on April 18.  Another project, called, We (the people) Dissent,” was listing 842 as of Friday morning.  Those taking to the streets have plenty of grievances, including unwarranted arrests, shipments of people facing no criminal charges to a notorious foreign prison, threats to cut Medicaid, and the ongoing march of Elon Musk’s DOGE through the federal workforce.  On Friday, NPR reported that the State Department’s annual Human Rights Reports will no longer condemn violations of the right to free speech and assembly, the failure to hold fair elections, or harassment of groups that advocate human rights.  The change does not bode well for American democracy.
