Help Build The Media Revolution

1% funded

For those who know me and my work, I’ll always keep it real (even when it gets me in trouble!). So here’s it straight: building a legitimately independent media network isn’t just about having the necessary reporters, voices, edge, authenticity, or determination. Those things are essential for long-term success, but, they don’t pay the bills right away.

Instead of seeking big-money funding from entities that don’t align with our progressive and non-corporate values, I believe the only way to get Status Coup off the ground is to build it together with you, the viewers and people in desperate need of learning the often ugly truth about this country that, BREAKING NEWS!, you won’t find elsewhere.

So the nuts and bolts: to launch Status Coup and grow, the monthly costs for marketing, social media service, advertising, email list service, research databases and services to file Freedom of Information Requests [FOIA], EQUIPMENT (Jesus mother of Mary equipment is expensive!), office space for myself are not cheap. All of these costs, unfortunately right now, strangle my ability—with our photojournalist Ty Bayliss—to get out in the field and report on the ground to expose issues of political corruption, economic injustice, environmental genocide, police brutality and economic oppression of minorities, and all the other stories you know me for. NOT TO MENTION: 2018 midterms, and then the 2020 election (I’d like to be on the ground for both).

So, in addition to launching an Indigogo campaign very soon, we are now asking for Status Coup Launch Sponsors who believe in me and the team around me (currently President Jenn Dize and photojournalist Ty Bayliss) enough to want to help build this with us. Specifically: we are seeking sponsors to support us monthly for specific—and necessary costs.
