This video is episode 1 of the series “Priced Out,” created by [people. power. media].
Meet Curtis, a high school teacher, and Riley, a pregnant tech gig worker, in their micro-unit in San Francisco. They’ve just received a rent increase and need to figure out how to keep their growing family in the city.
The stakes have never been higher (and our need for your support has never been greater).
For over two decades, Truthout’s journalists have worked tirelessly to give our readers the news they need to understand and take action in an increasingly complex world. At a time when we should be reaching even more people, big tech has suppressed independent news in their algorithms and drastically reduced our traffic. Less traffic this year has meant a sharp decline in donations.
The fact that you’re reading this message gives us hope for Truthout’s future and the future of democracy. As we cover the news of today and look to the near and distant future we need your help to keep our journalists writing.
Please do what you can today to help us keep working for the coming months and beyond.
