Dissent is vital right now

Here's how to build something better ⭕️ Can you help us reach our goal?

We're on the final stretch There's nothing more dangerous than an establishment consensus. And now, with far-right talking points being conveyor-belted into the mainstream and politicians lobbying to scrap human rights, dissent is more important than ever. We're heading into an election cycle - and the mainstream media is bereft of leftwing perspective.  But thanks to our supporters we're building something better. Our coverage offers a different lens through which to view the world. There are millions of people like you who crave nourishing, thoughtful analysis of the world. We need fewer than 1,500 people to strengthen our supporter base as we head into 2024. Can you support our truthful, independent analysis from just £1 per month? JOIN OUR SUPPORTERS FROM JUST £1 PER MONTH ➡︎ As part of this year's fundraiser, Aaron and I sat down to share the behind the scenes scoop on the making of Downstream. In it, we reflect on how the increasing popularity of Downstream shows just how strong an appetite there is for meaningful, leftwing analysis.  In the past 12 months we've published over 40 episodes of Downstream to discuss the most pressing political, economic and cultural issues facing society. They've been watched over 7 million times.  As a whole, our Youtube channel has had over 110 million views. We've done all this without a single penny of investment that had to be paid back. We've never had seed capital. There are no shareholders expecting a return.  All we have are people who believe in what we do.  We need fewer than 1,500 people to reach our goal and get ready for next year's election mayhem in the way the left deserves. Can you help? BACK US FROM £1 PER MONTH ➡︎ We mean it when we say we are people-powered.
