A FUNDRAISER FOR

June 17, 6-8 pm

Sixty-nine percent of Americans want the media to reflect the diversity of our population. That can be challenging when just 7 percent of reporters, editors and photojournalists responsible for shaping the news are Black.
 

We want to change that. VoxPopuli been at the forefront of reporting on Black community issues since our launch in 2021. But as we grapple with issues like systemic racism, voting access, healthcare disparities, over-policing, censorship in public education, book banning, and affordable housing in our communities, we need Black media voices more than ever. That’s why we’re hosting our first-ever Black Reporting Matters fundraiser.

With your support, we can raise $10,000 to help underwrite a new Black reporter position at VoxPopuli, allowing us to expand and deepen our coverage of these critical issues to better serve our readers. Because who reports the news affects how news gets reported.
