In March 2020, I took down Popular Information's paywall. Since then, each edition of Popular Information (524 newsletters!) has been freely available to everyone. And over the last two years, we've been able to produce journalism that has rattled the cages of some of the most powerful corporations and people in the world. A few recent examples:

• Popular Information broke the news that Koch Industries, the conglomerate run by billionaire Charles Koch, was continuing business in Russia following the invasion of Ukraine. After weeks of scrutiny, Koch Industries announced it was halting business operations in Russia.

• Popular Information revealed that United for Clean Power, a group pushing progressives to kill the Inflation Reduction Act, has extensive connections to notorious GOP operatives. After the exposé was published, the group pulled the plug on its six-figure national advertising campaign.

• Popular Information uncovered a damning brochure, full of false promises, handed to the migrants DeSantis sent to Martha's Vineyard. Days after the Popular Information report, the brochure was cited in a class action lawsuit filed against DeSantis and his accomplices.

Popular Information's reporting could not make the same impact hidden behind a paywall. Paid subscriptions, however, are Popular Information's only source of revenue. 

SO HERE IS THE DEAL: If 40 people upgrade to a paid subscription in the next 24 hours, I will keep the paywall down for everyone for another month. Your support will help keep Popular Information's groundbreaking accountability journalism accessible and maximize its influence.

AND if you upgrade to paid in the next 24 hours, you'll also receive a 20% discount off the regular price:

Upgrade to paid

Popular Information now has more than 200,000 readers. But the truth is, only a small percentage of Popular Information's readers are paid subscribers. If a few more readers upgrade to paid, Popular Information could root out more corruption, call out more hypocrites, and rattle more cages.

If the special discounted cost of this newsletter ($4.80/month or $40/year) would create any kind of financial strain, please stay on this free list. But, if you can afford it, please consider upgrading to paid today.
