⏱️ 35 Days to Go: Help Us Hit 4,000 Members and Launch The Shaun King Show on YouTube & Substack
100% of your membership will go to pay the 2 new staff members we need to hire full time for the show! THANK YOU so much!
Family — quick, honest appeal at the very top. I keep this work free for the world, and I move fast to bring you receipts, documents, and moral clarity when others go quiet. If that matters to you, please click here to become a monthly, annual, or founding member of The North Star. We need 960 more members to hire our editor and producer and launch my new video project, The Shaun King Show on Substack and YouTube by December 1. That’s 35 days from today.
Day 35 of the Countdown
Every single day between now and December 1, I’m posting a clear membership pledge alongside our reporting. We’re building this together — person by person — until we cross 4,000 and flip the lights on in our small home studio with our three-person team. If you’ve thought, “I’ll join later,” I’m asking you to make later = today. It takes seconds and it changes what we can do every day.

Why this matters (and why now)
When I relaunched The North Star, I made one stubborn commitment: tell the truth when power and the press won’t. Nearly 300 articles later, we’ve kept our Gaza coverage free, we’ve exposed what others ignored, and we’ve built a community that refuses to look away. But the next step requires people — not willpower. A video show that can’t be buried needs an editor to sharpen the work and a producer to get it to you fast and everywhere.
We’re 960 members away from making that real. Spread across the countdown, that’s about 27–28 new members per day. Today’s target: 28. If you’ve felt even a tiny pull to join, I’m asking you directly: help us hit today’s 28.

What your membership unlocks immediately
No vague promises. Your membership hires two human beings and funds the gear/time we need to move at the speed of the news. It means a daily video brief with on-screen receipts, our biggest investigations turned into shareable on-camera narratives, Gaza reporting kept free, and an organization that stays independent — no advertiser veto, no corporate leash. Joining isn’t simply support; it’s a tactic in the fight for truth.

We’ve held at 3,040. Here’s how we break through.
For two weeks we hovered; gains and losses canceled each other out. The way forward is daily, disciplined, visible. I’ll keep the membership pledge first in every post, show you the real-time climb, and make the payoff tangible. The day we cross 4,000, I’ll introduce our editor and producer and drop the first video schedule. You’ll see exactly what you funded — dates, topics, and rollout.
Objection & Answer (the questions serious readers ask)
“Money is tight — does a monthly tier even help?”
Yes. Monthly is oxygen. It lets us plan salaries and releases with certainty. If annual or founding isn’t possible, monthlymoves the needle today.
“I can read for free — why pay?”
Because you’re not paying for access; you’re funding existence. You are the reason the work is researched, edited, filmed — and kept free for everyone else.
“Will you actually launch on Dec 1?”
That’s the plan — and the purpose of this countdown. When we hit 4,000, we flip the switch: hires completed, first shoots booked, release dates posted.
“What does a founding member do?”
You underwrite the core team. You’ll get behind-the-scenes notes, private updates, and my direct thanks — and you’ll know the show exists because you made it possible.
The daily ritual (from now to Dec 1)
Each morning: a short membership post plus a signature report. Each evening: a progress update on our march to 4,000. The ask stays the same because the mission hasn’t changed: help me keep this work alive and launch the show. If you’re already a member, please share this with three people who trust your judgment and ask them to join you today.

We’re at 3,040 members. Today’s goal: +28. Let’s close the gap together.
Love and appreciate each of you.
Your friend and brother,
Shaun
Thank you all!
