About Progress Report

Progress Report is a newsletter that covers elections and policy, activism, and the stories that the national media ignores. It’s journalism driven by justice and the public interest, featuring the voices of both the people making decisions and those organizing on the ground to win progressive change.

The newsletter has raised over $7 million for candidates, activists, and causes since late 2017. Every week, we provide insights into state and national politics; interviews with activists, experts, lawmakers, and candidates; and opportunities to get involved in grassroots movements. The newsletter is written and edited by Jordan Zakarin, with regular contributions from other journalists.

You can sign up for free, and if you want to support our work and get exclusive newsletters, a monthly premium subscription is just $6. We don’t take advertisements or get funding from dark money sources like right-wing media platforms, but instead rely on subscribers to help keep us going and maintain our independence.

Further explanation of subscription options are below, but first, here are some unsolicited testimonials about the newsletter from subscribers:

Free Subscription

Once a week, we send out the big edition of the newsletter, which features interviews with candidates and analysis. These emails are free and always will be! Subscribe to the free version by clicking the “none” option in the link below.

Premium Subscription

Paid subscribers receive additional newsletters at least once or twice a week. They feature exclusive interviews, important headlines, and insightful analysis.

For every one we sell, we donate a free premium subscription to an interesting reader that is living on a fixed income or just hard up for cash. It’s our way of keeping this work sustainable while making sure the information is accessible to as many people as possible.
