Our Expansion Plans (and Why We Need You!)

(READ IN FULL PLEASE) We just hired a new full-time reporter and are looking to increase our hiring—and on-the-ground reporting. To do so, we need to gain 1,000 new paid members.

Hey folks, it’s Jordan.

You already have a gazillion politicians, political groups, non-profits, and media outlets emailing you asking for money…so I am going to try and make this direct and painless. I’m here to ask you to PICK STATUS COUP to spend as little as $5 bucks a month. Here’s why:

In case you missed, with our recent growth, we were able to hire our first-ever full-time reporter (other than yours truly). Ashley Bishop has already hit the ground running, setting the record straight on Cory Booker’s “heroics,” covering ON-THE-GROUND a pro-Palestinian protest that led to a tense clash between Zionists and pro-Palestinian protesters, and TODAY will be covering a MASSIVE Trump-Musk protest ON-THE-GROUND in NYC as part of a nationwide protest.

Beyond hiring Ashley, our goal over the next year is to EXPAND FURTHER to:

• Hire a full-time producer (we desperately need one)

• Hire additional reporters

• Expand to launch different variety shows with a political bent (comedy, sports, etc)

• Significantly expand the amount of ON-THE-GROUND reporting we do

• Increase the amount of mini-documentaries and full-length documentaries we do

***TO DO EVEN SOME OF THIS, WE NEED TO GAIN AT LEAST 1,000 NEW PAID MEMBERS***

Here is why I think NOW is the perfect time to do this where your financial support can actually make a big difference: we are in a rare political moment. You have Republicans screaming “TAX THE RICH” at town halls. You have normie Democrats who once hated Bernie Sanders and progressives —largely due to mainstream media propaganda—showing up to Bernie rallies and going against the establishment Democrats they once loved. RIGHT NOW is the best opportunity Status Coup—and we—have had to wake up more of the masses…both liberals and conservatives.

WE OFFER SOMETHING UNIQUE THAT 99% OF OTHERS OULETS DON’T—consistent ON-THE-GROUND reporting covering protests, worker exploitation, worker strikes, union organizing, environmental disasters and genocide, political corruption, and more. As a result of us getting out in-the-trenches, we have a MUCH HIGHER financial overhead than others. Here is our current overhead:

• Me

• Ashley

• Colin Foley

• Jon Farina

• Freelancers (Tina-Desiree Berg, Zeynab Day, Ron Placone, freelance cameraman)

• Part-time administrative help (we now have someone as I have been juggling reporting, hosting, and administrative)

• Our LiveU Broadcasting Unit which is how we go live ON-THE-GROUND (nearly $10,000 a year and sometimes more depending on how much we broadcast live)

• Accountant/Bookkeeper

• Travel Costs for ON-THE-GROUND reporting—flights, hotels, rent-a-cars, gas, food, parking—that per trip average between $3,000 and $5,000 depending on where we go and how long we stay.

• New equipment (cameras, audio, microphones, etc)

***We have been able to fund this without taking money from corrupt billionaire moguls, big donors buying off the Democratic and Republican Party, Wall Street, the fossil fuel industry, big Pharma, Silicon Valley, the military industrial complex, and all the rest of the usual special interest suspects. We have been largely able to fund this off of small-dollar viewer funding***

I genuinely understand if anyone reading this doesn’t have an extra $5 bucks a month to go to supporting Status Coup. If you don’t, no problem—just keep liking our videos, sharing our videos, leaving comments, and spreading the words about Status Coup to friends and family. But for those that do, you can support Status Coup as a paying member for $5 bucks a month, $10 bucks a month, $20 bucks a month, and $179 annually (AND RIGHT NOW, we are running a promotion—for those who sign up at $20 a month, you will get a FREE signed copy of my book, “We the Poisoned: Exposing the Flint Water Crisis Coverup and the Poisoning of 100,000 Americans” with a personal note from me).

As we embark on this campaign to gain 1,000 new paid members, we will try and tap into our COUP-mmunity! This includes having new members on the show to share their personal stories and why what Status Coup does matters to them. We will also increase the amount of MEMBERS-ONLY content we do so that paying members are getting more for their support beyond our current offerings (which include a monthly MEMBERS-ONLY call and behind-the-scenes content from ON-THE-GROUND).

So the choice is yours. Is REAL INDEPENDENT ON-THE-GROUND reporting worth $5-20 bucks a month? If so, PLEASE SIGN UP TODAY. You’ll hear more from me in the coming days, and weeks as part of this membership campaign.

As always, let’s keep waking up the masses!
