Dear John,
If you're discouraged by what's happening in our country right now, that is by design.
The forces undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up hope.
They want you to believe the government is the problem, not the solution. That the massive wealth gap between the billionaires and the rest of us is normal—a “natural” extension of “free market capitalism.” Baloney.
They’re trying to divide us from our neighbors and stoke fear by telling a false story of America in which we were perfect from the beginning—leaving out unpleasant truths about slavery, colonialism, racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and inequality.
Our mission at Inequality Media is to use social media to inform millions of Americans about not only our true history, but also our current reality, and what they can do about it—pointing away from despair and apathy and toward hope that change is possible. Because it is. And it always has been.
With support from everyday people like you, we’re reframing the most pressing issues of the day. For instance, there’s not a labor shortage—there’s a shortage of decent jobs willing to pay workers a living wage.
Billionaire philanthropy isn’t simply charity—it’s public relations deflecting attention from the reality that the superrich pay nowhere close to their fair share of taxes.
And if we’re so worried about the deficit, why are our politicians willing to pass a $768 billion annual defense budget without batting an eye?
At Inequality Media, we’re using our vast reach on social media to provide Americans with the reframing necessary to understand what’s really at play and spread the truth about our nation: how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go. We’re on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and more, going toe-to-toe with Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, and Prager University.
But our fight to tell the real story of America can’t happen without supporters like you. And thanks to a generous donor who is passionate about our work and the critical role we play in truth-telling, if you give today, your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar, going twice as far in fueling our efforts in the year ahead. If you give $5, we’ll get $10. If you give $50, we’ll get $100.
Thank you so much for being a part of this critical truth-telling operation,
Robert Reich
