We're SO CLOSE to Our May Member Goal!

On the last day of the month, we're 15 paid members away from hitting our goal of 125 paid member sign ups. If we hit that goal, we'll be in GREAT shape for a summer full of ON-THE-GROUND reporting!

Hey folks, it’s Jordan. Short and sweet: you get a sh*t ton of emails asking for money and I don’t want to become the next guy you tire of seeing in your email box. So I’ll be direct: we just dropped $15,200 on a new mobile LiveU broadcasting unit that will now give us the option of being live ON-THE-GROUND with multiple reporters in different locations at once—think Louis in East Palestine and Jordan in Flint).

With the added resources comes added expenses (two on-the-ground trips at the same time is pricey). We also have our eyes on several new on-the-ground reporting trips for this summer including environmental calamity and corruption, worker exploitation, and protests against militarized police.

Here’s some of our recent reporting and residents and activists thanking us.

Our goal for the month was adding 125 new paid members and, with one day left, we’re 15 away. If it’s within your means to support real INDEPENDENT ON-THE-GROUND and investigative journalism, please sign up as a Status Coup member for $5-10 bucks a month. That’s 16-33 cents a day!

Together, we can keep funding actual journalism in a sea of corporate-hijacked propaganda.
