The Lever - A pleasure and a privilege.

While other outlets churn out hot takes and clickbait, we take the time to tell the stories of people caught up in our many American crises. These stories are essential, reflecting the major issues of our time, but they are time-intensive and incredibly costly. Our paid subscribers make this work possible.

Consider becoming a paid subscriber right now, during our year-end membership drive, with a huge 40% off forever discount:

I’m Amos Barshad, senior enterprise reporter at The Lever. I write articles about the people impacted by the decisions made by corporations and the politicians they control.

That means that I find myself in all kinds of unexpected places: At a minor league baseball stadium being squeezed dry by a private equity company, watching an anthropomorphic dog do an Elvis impersonation. Tooling around a midwestern city with an activist who calls himself Guillotine Guy and is fighting to stop a billionaire from taking over his community. At a free pop-up medical clinic in the Lehigh Valley at the break of dawn, hearing from folks who slept in their cars to make sure they arrived early enough to access crucial dental care.

It’s a pleasure and a privilege to do this work. It’s also something that requires a lot of time, money, and resources. We thank you for your support of The Lever. It allows us to do the kind of reporting that exposes the human costs of callous profit-driven decision-making.

We have a plan to keep doing stories like these: To power our journalism in the year ahead, we’ve set an ambitious goal of signing up 350 new paid subscribers by the time the ball drops on New Year’s Eve, just 5 days from now.

If are you able, seriously consider joining this membership drive today with a massive 40% off forever discount — less than 25¢ a day to hold the powerful accountable.

Thank you for considering this request.
