The right have deep pockets – and they won’t stop until they’ve won. Now it’s your chance to turn the tide.
In 2009, Left Foot Forward, a home for independent, progressive journalism was born.
For the past ten years more than 1,200 contributors (and growing) have built a platform for hard-hitting evidence-based analysis of British politics.
We’ve reached millions of people. Over the past few years we’ve:
- Exposed tax dodging, with forensic analysis by LFF writers
- Run exclusive stories on campaigners fighting Brexit – from the grassroots to progressive politicians
- We’ve lifted the lid on poverty pay and austerity Britain
- And raised up Green and radical voices when other outlets side-line them
- Highlighted dirty tricks while all eyes are on Brexit
- Shown up Tory hypocrisy and investigated shady organisations
- Challenged sleaze and cronyism
- And we’ve never shied away from debate – and never let pioneering voices be silenced.
We can’t keep doing this without raising £10,000. The truth is, running a progressive media outlet is hard to sustain. We aren’t backed by powerful figures like Rupert Murdoch.
What keeps us going is our readers and contributors. We urgently need to raise £10,000 or we won’t be able to keep our fight for a better media alive.
Please donate £10 or £20 today to support another 10 years of independent journalism.
Your support will mean we can:
- Keep reporting from the frontlines of campaigning
- Maintain Left Foot Forward as a platform of open, progressive debate
- Hold the right’s feet to the fire through fresh commentary and analysis
- Keep paying our small team a living wage
But we want to be ambitious. If we raise £15,000, we will be able to:
- Find and pay for exclusive stories that expose wrongdoing and hypocrisy
- Fund monthly polling to put progressive issues at the top of the news agenda
And if we raise £20,000, we will be able to:
- Hire regular columnists and experts to cover climate change, trade union activism and anti-racist organising
- Explore long-term investigations into the world of right-wing think tanks and hardcore Brexiteers
We’ve achieved a lot – but we can do so much more: to not just keep LFF going as a leading news and comment site, but to become a force to be reckoned with.
Help us build a better media. Together, we can do this. Join the movement here – and spread the word.
To reach hundreds of thousands of new readers and to make the biggest impact we can in the next general election, we need to grow our donor base substantially.
That's why in 2024, we are seeking to generate 150 additional regular donors to support Left Foot Forward's work.
We still need another 124 people to donate to hit the target. You can help. Donate today.
