Because conservative media outlets have been quite effective in challenging the prevailing narratives over the last decade (and more), leftists have relentlessly tried to silence us through censorship, shadow-banning, and de-platforming. They’ve severely wounded us, but they haven’t been successful – yet.

Conservative media is at a crossroads, and the only way it will survive is through direct reader support. For RedState, direct reader support is provided through our VIP program. In addition to supporting our overall mission and operations, RedState VIP members enjoy perks like a fully AD-FREE reading experience (on the site, in our THM News app, and in emails!), the ability to chat with other readers and RedState authors in our comments section, and exclusive VIP articles. Our Gold VIP members enjoy those perks across all Townhall Media properties and are able to participate in Live Chats with our top writers. An ever-growing number of you have been supporting us through the VIP program for a few years now, and we’re so grateful for you and enjoy the community we’ve built.

For our readers who aren’t VIP members yet – we need you.

If you think conservative reporting is important, if you want journalists who will hold those in power accountable, who will investigate corrupt Democrats, and who will report on the stories the mainstream media won’t, become a member.

RedState is the only outlet to cover the appalling corruption in LA County Department of Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer’s office, where an employee recently committed suicide by jumping off the 18-story building in which she worked. The employee, Heather Hughes, had been bullied and retaliated against by management for years and had her FMLA leave improperly denied before killing herself – and our investigation revealed that violations of labor law are endemic in the office. Sources working with RedState told us that they’d also spoken with the Los Angeles Times but that the Times wasn’t interested in pursuing the story.

Our investigation into a story that at first glance seemed to be about one woman has now morphed into an investigation into rampant employee abuse that everybody up the chain has known about for years and ignored. It also brought the receipts that Ferrer ignored her own draconian mandates during the COVID lockdowns and knowingly sent inspectors who’d tested positive and were symptomatic out to enforce those mandates.

If you think conservative opinions, which would never be published anywhere else, are important, become a member.

On that topic, a bit about our editorial philosophy when it comes to publishing opinion pieces. At RedState, we believe in having more conservative voices, not less, and we believe that enforcing some kind of conformity of opinion is what leftists do, not conservatives. So you’ll find a variety of conservative opinions on our site, and you’ll find that our contributors don’t all agree with each other. It’s likely you won’t agree with every opinion expressed. Heck, the editors don’t agree with every opinion expressed. But, we all agree on the important things like defeating leftists, small government, individual liberty, and America.

If you think conservatives need media outlets to get a fair shake, and if you want voters to have a real and knowledgeable voice by having access to outlets that cover election integrity, continue to expose the invasion of our border and Biden’s destruction of America, join us.

We need you to step up now more than ever before. We’re under constant attack from leftist censors who want us gone, and without reader support, they could accomplish that goal. Become a VIP member today; use code CENSORSHIP for a 50% discount.
