The Lever

Description

The Lever is an award-winning investigative news outlet that holds accountable the people and corporations manipulating the levers of power. The reader-supported organization was founded in 2020 by journalist David Sirota, an Oscar-nominated writer who served as the presidential campaign speechwriter for Bernie Sanders. The Lever’s reporting, podcasts, videos, and live events focus on politics, business and corruption — and how money shapes and distorts economic and environmental policy. We believe a functioning democracy requires a vibrant independent media and aggressive reporting, rather than corporate media promoting propaganda. We believe fearless subscriber-supported journalism can create leverage that forces politicians and corporations to fulfill their promises. To paraphrase Archimedes: We believe that with a strong enough lever, we can help move the world.
