Break Through The Gossip At The Democratic Convention

We believe it is important to have a journalist at the Democratic National Convention to capture aspects that will not be covered by corporate media.

On the Sunday before the convention, civil disobedience and direct actions are planned but are unlikely to get meaningful media attention. We want to send Rania Khalek to cover it all.

Shadowproof is sending Rania to report on events as they unfold and provide eyewitness accounts. But we need your help to fund her coverage.
