Hey folks, it's Jordan.

Shortly, independent journalist Jason Peters will be LIVE for us from Philadelphia covering Trump supporters, and counter-protesters, in Philadelphia, PA hours before President Trump's nationally televised town hall. 



If you've noticed over the last few weeks and months, we've begun bringing you new and talented independent freelance journalists like Jason—and cameraman/editors—to cover protests and other stories across the country. 

In recent months, we've had:

Jason Peters (Philadelphia)
-Reporting from a BONKERS Trump rally in Latrobe PA,
-Reporting on Philadelphia's homeless being evicted from their encampments during the COVID-19 pandemic
-Reporting LIVE from #BlackLivesMatter protests in Philadelphia

Tina-Desiree Berg (Los Angeles)
-Reporting from DANGEROUS #BlackLivesMatter protests in Los Angeles
-Reporting on the alleged "suicide" of Robert Fuller in Palmdale, California
-Reporting on exit poll discrepancies during the 2020 Democratic primary
-And get ready for her EXPLOSIVE interview this coming weekend with an LAPD whistleblower who admits to being "turned him into a racist" as a result of being an LAPD cop.

And other freelance journalists reporting for us from Minneapolis, Portland, Oakland, Kenosha Wisconsin, and Rochester New York. Jenn and I are currently looking for a MIDWEST-based independent journalist as well to add to the rotation.

Needless to say, this IN-THE-FIELD reporting is not cheap--we pay for the journalists' work as well as cameraman/editors while, depending on the story, also covering their gas/hotel. Before COVID, our quickly growing membership was helping to cover these types of costs, but unfortunately, we've been unable to continue growing membership at the pace we need due to viewers' understandable economic struggles and layoffs amid the pandemic.

As a result, we've raised our GoFundMe goal (with the audience's permission and approval!) to $200,000 dollars in order continue paying for independent journalists' reporting, bring on new indy journalists to cover more, as well as help afford advertising and marketing (we've been advertising in a bunch of different ways, helping to grow our Twitter and YouTube). We also need to upgrade our LIVEU data plan in order to avoid being charged for going over our data limits (has happened several times in-the-field)

So, I humbly submit to you—if every one of the over 5,000 people on this email list donated just $5 bucks to our GOFUNDME, we'd raise an additional $25,000 dollars, greatly helping us cover much of these costs while continuing to GIVE THE MICROPHONE BACK TO THE PEOPLE.

I greatly appreciate every single viewer who contributes (5 days before my 34th birthday, hint hint!)—and for those of you who can't, no worries: just continue to share our content and spread the word!

I look forward to sharing our plans for new IN-THE-FIELD reporting trips I'll be taking in the near future.

Jordan
