Hey guys, it’s JVL.

The Bulwark isn’t just a media company. It’s not even a “business,” really. It’s a community of smart, good-faith people who care about the truth. 

The people who subscribe to Bulwark+ do it because they believe in what we’re doing. They know that as old media fails, we need serious, new, independent media organizations that are capable and willing to say the true things, without worrying about corporate ownership or feeling pressure to pretend “both sides.”

Let me share a little bit about what our subscribers have to say, to give you an idea of what this community is all about:

“What’s great about The Bulwark is that they always give it to you straight. They don’t sugarcoat, and they’re not pushing an agenda.” — Dale, VA

“The Bulwark is a place where you can find a home no matter what you believe. This is some of the best writing out there, capturing the moment we’re in and how we tackle it together.” — Barbara, OH

“I love going to The Bulwark every day. Even if I don’t always agree with them, I trust them to be honest and accountable. That’s the kind of community that can help get our country back on track.” — Christian, TX

I started in magazine journalism in the Before Times, and it’s been heartbreaking to watch so much of our nation’s legacy media surrender to Trump. But that’s exactly why The Bulwark matters.

We’re independent. No corporate owners. No party owners. Just real journalism, backed by normal people—like you—who know that if we want something better, we have to build it ourselves. Together.

I often say this isn’t just a community, it’s more like a family. I really believe that, and a lot of people who become Bulwark+ members feel it too.

So, if you want more fearless reporting, more sharp analysis, and more of the independent journalism that refuses to cave to the status quo—then support The Bulwark by subscribing today.

Come be part of something bigger.
