Dear fellow MoveOn member,
Robert Reich here. Usually, when I send you an email, it's about the
latest outrage of the Trump administration or the corrupt right-wing
policies that my friends at MoveOn are fighting against. But this email is
a little different.
Today, I want to share with you the personal mission I have been on for
the last five years—and to ask for your help to keep it going.
Back in 2009, I started making short videos about the increasing economic
inequality plaguing our nation, and I began to understand the power of
fact-based storytelling that doesn’t just rely on dry data and confusing
jargon.
I saw how hungry folks were for this information. Our country was fast
approaching record levels of wealth inequality, but mainstream news
outlets were not talking about how our laws and policies were responsible
for corporations and the ultra-wealthy getting richer and richer—and at
our expense.
Then, in 2014, to expand that work, I launched Inequality Media, a
nonprofit media company. Our goal is to get the critical information about
growing inequality out to the American people in order to mobilize them to
make change.
Over the years, our organization has grown to have millions of social
media followers, and we are now releasing videos every few days—you may
have seen some of the videos we've made with MoveOn!
And now, we're gearing up to put out videos every single day! Short,
snappy, but still fully-researched clips that will directly debunk
whatever lies Republicans and the right-wing propaganda machine have been
spreading that day. And we're launching a YouTube talk show to take on the
platform's right-wing radicalization.
In order to make high-quality, compelling videos every day that will get
out crucial information to millions of viewers, we need support from
dedicated progressive activists like you, John. Your donation
to Inequality Media is tax-deductible, and anything you give right now
will be matched dollar for dollar, making your donation go twice as far in
supporting our effort to combat disinformation and move our country
forward in 2020 and beyond.

Inequality Media close the books on 2019 in a strong financial position
heading into the new year?
Donald Trump is an existential threat to the future of our country, but he
is a symptom of our broken system in which out-of-control corporations and
extravagantly wealthy individuals have spent the last few decades doing
everything they can to shovel more money into their pockets and block any
policies that could help ease the burden on the rest of us.
And those are the stories that we shine a light on at Inequality Media.
We dug deep into the racist policies that created the racial wealth gap in
America.
We shared the dirty details of how Citizens United has corrupted our
country's elections.
We dove into why billionaires and corporations are spending so much money
to try and stop progressive policies like Medicare for All or raising the
minimum wage.
And much, much more.
I believe that by creating this media organization and sharing this
information, we are putting the power back into the hands of people like
you, who will translate knowledge into action and advance the progressive
vision our country needs as we head into 2020 and beyond. Donations are
tax-deductible, and if you chip in by New Year's Day, your donation will
be matched dollar for dollar by generous supporters dedicated to our
mission.

progressive change? Please click here and chip in $3, or
more if you can, to Inequality Media now. Your tax-deductible donation
will be matched 2:1.
Thanks for all you do.
