Hi, I’m David Sirota, founder of The Lever.


Four years ago, after working as speechwriter for Bernie Sanders’ 2020 campaign, I started an email newsletter covering the complex web of money, influence, and greed corrupting our democracy.


Since then, that humble offering has grown into The Lever, a full-scale newsroom of investigative journalists that’s exposed some of the biggest scoops in recent American politics.


But we’re not content to rest on our laurels. That’s why, as 2024 comes to a close and we approach a year that will be defined by the incoming Trump administration, we need to be even more ambitious.


So, to power our journalism in the year ahead, we’re setting an ambitious goal of signing up 350 new paid subscribers by the time the ball drops on New Year’s Eve, just eight days from now.


Will you help The Lever expand our reader-powered, fiercely independent investigative journalism by signing up as a paid subscriber with a 30% off forever discount?

Join In The Campaign — Claim 30% Off Forever, Now

As a paid subscriber, you’ll get access to additional newsletters, premium podcasts, special live events, e-books, full commenting privileges on articles, and more.

But more importantly, your subscription will allow us to hire more reporters to investigate the corruption in our political system that lies ahead. Your subscription will also allow us to expand our investigations budget and use Freedom of Information Act laws to access records the government would rather keep hidden.


And perhaps best of all, your subscription will give you the pure, unbridled satisfaction of knowing that your hard-earned money will be put to work fighting the greedy corporations and corrupt politicians who make a living trying to screw you over every single day.


I’m an award-winning journalist, best-selling author, and Oscar-nominated writer. But believe me when I tell you: No accomplishment makes me prouder than being able to say I founded The Lever. Today, I’m asking you to help take The Lever to even greater heights in 2025.


Will you become a paid subscriber to help make our year-end campaign a success and allow us to keep kicking asses and taking names in the new year?

Onward.


David Sirota

Founder, The Lever
