Charlton County, Georgia doesn’t have a working hospital, but it’s about to be home to the largest ICE detention center in the country. The facility is run by GEO Group, the multi-billion dollar prison profiteer the U.S. government pays to cage migrants. BT followed the organizers demanding the Folkston ICE detention center shut down. (Report from 2023)
BreakThrough News is building the media arm of the movement. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
Think to yourself, is this article something that would be published anywhere other than BreakThrough?
Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
Working-class people deserve better, we deserve media for and by us. We are not funded by billionaires or corporations – we are funded by you. Without you, BreakThrough would not be possible, so become a member and build the media arm of the movement with us.
