We CAN'T STAY ON THE GROUND Without Your Help
We've been LIVE ON THE GROUND 12 STRAIGHT DAYS covering BRUTAL ICE/police terror against unarmed protesters during Delaney Hall ICE prison protests. PLEASE READ FULL MESSAGE
WE’VE BEEN LIVE ON THE GROUND ALL 12 DAYS of the ICE Prison hunger strike & protests—RISKING OUR LIVES & SAFETY. Do you see mainstream media to show you a violent fascist attack on unarmed protesters? Other big independent media? Big podcast bros? Status Coup is the rag-tag, guerrilla journalists out here delivering ON-THE-GROUND justice journalism in a country suffocating in propaganda, infotainment, and tribal bullshit delivered to your TV, computers, and phones. WE NEED MORE SUPPORT to stay ON-THE-GROUND. SUPPORT for as low as 5 bucks/month. You can also DONATE.
Hey folks, it’s Jordan.
You get a ton of emails and requests, so I’ll try and short and sweet.
WE…NEED…YOUR…HELP.
For those that don’t have as low as $5 bucks a month—16 cents a day—I understand. But for those who do have that financial ability, or probably have subscriptions to other services they forgot they had or don’t really need, I PASSIONATELY & SINCERELY ask you to sign up as a Status Coup member TODAY. Over the last 12 days of covering both ICE and state police’s violent fascist crackdown on unarmed protesters and journalists—firing flash bang grenades, tear gas, rubber bullets, pepper balls, pepper spray all at point blank range—our crew has:
Been injured (I hurt my already bad back Friday night after a grenade sent me flying backwards on my back—forcing me to crawl to the grass because I could not walk).
Struggled to breathe while reporting due to ICE and state police directly spraying us with pepper spray and/or launching tear gas right at
Had our cameras damaged by unknown projectiles fired at us.
Been illegally threatened with arrest by state police for refusing to obey an ILLEGAL press curfew.
So, I have a blunt question for you…
Unless you simply can’t afford 16 cents a day for real, living, breathing, journalism—what’s holding you back? You might think as low as 16 cents a day ($5 bucks a month) doesn’t really matter…

I’m here to tell you it does. If the majority of the 30,000 free subscribers on this Substack SIGNED UP AS A PAYING SC MEMBER for as low as $5 bucks a month, we’d have enough money to:
Hire 2 more full-time reporters and video journalists.
Fund upgraded equipment and badly needed safety equipment.
Fund additional travel as this ICE terrorism spreads elsewhere.

It’s your choice what kind of country you want to live in—and what kind of journalism you want to build to make it better.
Watching you on youtube Incredible reporting and live images of New Jersey Delaney Hall. Thank you. Upgraded to founding member. Stand with the protest against ICE! FREE THEM ALL! Shame on the Govenor Sherrill. Shut it down! Good news that an health investigation is ordered and sue Geo group!
I\nWould love nothing better than to become a paid subscriber, but I am a senior living on a very limited income , with my social security. My husband and I barely barely scrape by. I love the fact that you are covering all this and that I can watch it. Sometimes I feel guilty because I am not a paid subscriber until I think 5$ can buy a meal for both of us. Since trump has cut benefits so bad, we just cannot afford it. Please stay safe out there. I HATE THIS NAZI REGIME!!!!!
