We want to do more. Now, more than ever, @capitalb.bsky.social needs to do more. As a nonprofit, one of the ways that we can expand into more local communities and hire reporters to cover more beats is through the support of our readers and champions who believe in what we do and who we do it for.

At @capitalb.bsky.social, we serve Black communities news on a national scale and locally in Atlanta and Gary, IN. Our readers tell us that they feel seen by our coverage, they get angles they wouldn’t get in mainstream news, and our work's inspired them to take tangible civic and community actions.

As this happened, the need for trustworthy. independent news that fosters a shared sense of truth in our communities has become more stark. Nonprofit news is one solution to this problem.

We founded @capitalb.bsky.social 4 years at the dawn of a new administration, went live 3 years ago, and have watched as our news institutions have become even more diminished and even less trusted and tethered to community.
