Hey there,
Jenn here! As you may have seen, photojournalist Jon and I are on a reporting trip on the WEST COAST! This is huge for Status Coup- and we have a jam-packed plan for stories to cover.
Last night, we reported from a #BlackLivesMatter protest in Portland, OR, where there were scuffles with the police following some very impactful speeches and interviews- you can see that at our YouTube - http://Youtube.com/StatusCoup
Today, we're headed to report on the aftermath of some of the devastating wildfires in this area. We'll follow that up with additional reporting from ongoing protests downtown- which have been reinvigorated following the announcement of no charges related to the police murder of Breonna Taylor in Louisville.
We're headed to San Diego next, reporting on indigenous border wall protests, detention centers, and more.
Then we'll head to L.A. and Arizona to report on the 2020 Latino vote, alt-right protests, the Bobcat fire, and more!
Phew! That's a lot even typing that out :-) But this is what Status Coup was born to do.
There's just one issue–this is a very ambitious reporting trip, and one we are absolutely determined to make as impactful as possible. It's also very expensive...we have to pay for multiple flights, trains, rental cars, freelance camera fees, Live U streaming costs, hotels...and on and on.
Can you help us? We really can't do this without you. If you have can support our reporting at any amount, please head to this page, where you'll find a link to donate via PayPal or Stripe: https://statuscoup.com/westcoast/
There are a ton of behind-the-scenes pictures on that page and my thoughts and all kinds of updates to fill you on the trip. Bookmark that page- I'll be adding a lot more throughout the trip.
LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU ALL!
~
Jenn
