voice.cumry is a new radical media platform in Wales.
In the three years since we’ve launched, voice.wales has proved itself as a vital platform for radical journalism.
Our work – from exposing exploitation at work to the police targeting of Black Lives Matter protesters in Wales – speaks for itself.
Only recently, we exposed the culture of low-pay and overwork within the Cardiff domestic violence workforce, after lengthy interviews with workers.
At the end of last year, we took on our first in-depth undercover investigation, with one of our reporters going into Amazon to work as a courier for six weeks and revealing the shocking conditions we found inside.
But there’s more to what we do. We are writers not afraid to take risks and deliver groundbreaking journalism against the status quo.
Our first two feature articles – one on the devastating effects of austerity in the south Wales Valleys and the other on the impact of widespread Islamophobia, both told through the voices of those affected- still go to the heart of what we’re about.
But we’ve done all this without a single one of our small team getting paid. We can’t carry on like this forever, and there’s so much we can’t cover.
We’re asking you to help us get to the next level. We want to be able to have two writers working part time for the rest of the year. This will be game changing, and in that time we’ll be able to build up a sustainable subscription base as we expand our coverage, including special paper editions.
As we face a crisis on so many fronts – from the cost of living to the environment and war – we need media like voice.wales. We’ve shown what we can do on a shoestring, now we need your help to do far more.
