Give Writers The Green Light
In the last few months, Shadowproof published critically important journalism from a pool of talented reporters.
They’ve tackled stories on immigration, labor organizing, and prisoner rights, and obtained documents on police surveillance, military corruption, and retaliation against protesters.
We were able to publish this reporting thanks to our readers, who donated $5, $20, $50, or more to fund our freelance budget.
We can only greenlight what we have the resources to fund. If you like Shadowproof, please donate to help us put more writers to work.
