The Naked Campaign
After about a year of work and worry, our project of doing illustration on film for campaign coverage, The Naked Campaign, is finally starting up on The New Yorker website. A lot of media folk said no or maybe to this, but David Remnick, Pam McCarthy, and Chris Curry were the ones who said yes. So here it is, the beginning of what my collaborator, 7-time Emmy-winning filmmaker Gail Levin, and I expect will be the beginning of a very interesting journey. Hope you all like.

DEFEND THE TRUTH. DEFEND JOURNALISM.

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things it doesn’t like—which is most things that are true.

We’ll say it loud and clear: At Mother Jones, no one gets to tell us what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please do your part and help us reach our $150,000 membership goal by May 31.
