Here are three reasons that the world didn’t completely suck this week.

This year marked our inaugural class of the Grist 50: innovators, organizers, and visionaries who are dedicated to and passionate about solving tomorrow’s problems. The honorees come from all walks of life — politicians, chefs, scientists, and even supermodels.

If you haven’t already, check out the project. We’re already busy rounding up next year’s batch of Grist 50-ers, so stay tuned!

As part of our annual winter fund drive, we’re highlighting the stories of 2016 that defined our year. Why? Now more than ever, the world desperately needs independent nonprofit journalism. With the media landscape rife with antagonism, spectacle, and fake news, Grist dives deep and brings important stories you just can’t find elsewhere.
