Folks,
It’s the holidays, but for self-employed labor reporters like myself, there are no paid holidays.
Often, when I take time off, I lost money, but no time is more important than now to rest up and prepare for the massive fight ahead when Trump is inaugurated on January 20th. We will have a lot of work ahead of us fighting to defend immigrants against deportation.
Donate to help us take some time off.
Given the need to train activists to defend immigrants against Trump, Payday intends to focus on getting the labor and social justice movements to have serious plans to protect immigrants against deportations.
Payday Report has a huge impact on how activists think about organizing and how major media outlets cover organizing.
We have collaborated with outlets ranging from NPR's This American Life to CNN to the leading Brazilian magazine Revista Forum.
The Washington Post credited us in a front-page story as the first publication to systematically track the massive strike wave during the first Trump Administration. With union approval ratings at a historic 70%, unions will play a crucial role in fighting back against Trump.
Our investigation into the spike of deaths of low-wage undocumented construction workers in Nashville led to the city passing comprehensive safety reforms credited with saving lives.
Our work questioning why more unions did not have plans to defend members against deportation forced a debate within the labor movement. We have nearly two decades of covering farmworkers and worked on the Eva Longoria-produced documentary Food Chains.
Now, we need to build up a travel and reporting fund to cover how unions and social movements can fight back against deportations.
During the first Trump Administration, Payday Report covered many workplace raids targeting immigrant workers; a tactic that the Trump Administration plans to bring back.
We must have a travel fund to deploy rapidly to cover large-scale workplace raids that often involved hundreds of workers during Trump's first term.
Due to the importance of educating activists about how to defend immigrants from activists, Payday is giving its reporting away free of charge to any publications that want to use it.
Donate to help us fight back against deportations & defend immigrants.
