For more than 9 years, Payday Report has operated on a slim margin and somehow published nearly 1,400 articles, but now as the economy crashes, Payday is at risk and we need your help.

Currently, we are only $40 short of hitting our $2,000 goal.,

In June, Payday Report is gonna meet with a large foundation, which has given us some money in the past. In order to impress them, I want to raise $6,000 in one month. 

The past year has been tough on Payday. The loss of Twitter has led to a 32% decline in crowdfunding for Payday Report, but as I grew our presence on Bluesky, where we have picked up 3,000 new followers in just 3 months, fundraising has been picking back up. 

I want to show our funders that we still have some strength and by raising $6,000 in a month, we can do that. 

We have been nominated for an Emmy, covered Lula all the way from Sáo Bernardo dos Campos to the Oval Office, published more than 1,300 articles, and were credited by the Washington Post as being the first publication to systematically track the post-pandemic strike wave. 

Given our strong body of work, I am optimistic that we can get our annual grant renewed this summer, but in order to do it, we need to show that we can grow the publication. Please donate if you can to help us grow.
