Here’s what that means: We report on the real struggles and challenges of the working class from a working-class perspective, and we attempt to connect those problems to potential solutions. We report on the abuses and wrongdoings of corporate power, and we seek to hold accountable the ultra-rich who have too much power over America’s political and economic systems. We’re an independent, nonprofit newsroom.
