Voters struggle to connect how actions taken by politicians in service of their rich donors negatively affect their lives. Explain the connection and what they can do about it with digital stories.
President Trump and the Republicans passed a $2.3 trillion tax cut that was a giveaway to the rich and slashed $1.35 billion from Centers For Disease Control (CDC) funding to pay for it. This funding would have gone to protect Americans against the deadly Coronavirus.
How can the consequences of political decisions be explained clearly? How can stories be prepared quickly, with no money and little technical expertise?
