When I began feeling overwhelmed by the number of cases at the beginning of this pandemic, I thought it would be valuable to highlight some of the lives and faces of those we were losing. And perhaps linger for an extra moment and appreciate how profound is this loss. Pretty soon it became a daily practice, and as we came to understand the number of lives lost to police violence, I decided to include those faces as well. The title “The Greater Quiet” conveys the idea of going to the silences, finding the faces and voices that are overlooked and underreported in the rush of daily news.

There's too much at stake this November for us to quit. As we navigate another presidential election year, thoughtful independent journalism is more important than ever. We're committed to bringing you the latest news on what's really happening across the country this election season, shining a light on the stories corporate media overlooks and keeping the public informed about how power really works in America.
Quality reporting doesn't come for free, and we don't have corporate backers to rely on to fund our work. Everything we do is thanks to our incredible community of readers, who chip in a few dollars at a time to make what we do possible. This month, we're trying to raise $50,000 to help fuel our election coverage, and we've fallen behind on reaching our goal. Any amount you give today will bring us closer to making our reporting possible—and a generous donor has agreed to match all online donations, so your impact will be doubled.
