⏱️ 36 Days to Go: Help Us Hit 4,000 Members by December 1 and Launch The Shaun King Show
36 days to go. We’re at 3,033 and must reach 4,000 by Dec 1 to hire our editor & producer and launch the video Shaun King Show. Join now.
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 you believe in that, please click here to become a monthly, annual, or founding member of The North Star. We’re at 3,033 members. We must reach 4,000 by December 1 to hire our editor and producer and launch the video version of The Shaun King Show across Substack and YouTube. This is the push.
Day 36 of the Countdown
It’s Sunday, October 26th! We have 36 days before we launch my new video podcast. Every day between now and December 1, I’ll publish a membership post alongside our reporting. We are going to build this together, person by person, until we cross 4,000 and flip the lights on in our home studio with our small three-person team.
If you’ve thought, “I’ll join later,” I’m asking you to make “later” today. It takes seconds. It changes what we can do every single day.

Why This Matters (and Why Now)
When I relaunched The North Star in July, 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 broken stories others ignored, and we’ve built a community that refuses to look away.
But the next step requires a real team: an editor to sharpen the work and a producer to turn these investigations into video that can’t be buried. Writing is a solo grind; video is a team sport. The difference between an idea and a show is people.
We need 967 more members to cover those salaries and the final studio costs. That’s the gap between a plan and a premiere.

What Your Membership Unlocks Right Away
The moment you join, you move real pieces: we hire our editor and producer, lock the video calendar, roll out a daily video brief with on-screen receipts, turn our most important investigations into shareable, on-camera narratives, keep Gaza reporting free, and remain independent of advertisers and corporate gatekeepers. Joining isn’t just support; it’s a tactic to win the information war.

We’ve Stalled at 3,033. Here’s How We Break Through.
For two weeks we’ve held steady. I’m grateful we haven’t slipped — but we must move. The path forward is daily, disciplined, and simple: I will put the membership pledge first in every post, I will show you our real-time progress, and I will make the payoff visible. The day we cross 4,000, I’ll introduce our editor and producer and drop the first videoschedule. You will see exactly what you funded.

Why People Say Yes (and Stay)
What moves people to click “subscribe” isn’t tricks; it’s clarity. You’re funding a platform that names genocide and corruption without euphemisms — and keeps that work free for the world. You’re joining something that’s building(we’ve doubled since July). You’re crossing a specific milestone — from 3,026 → 4,000 — tied to real people, real jobs, a real studio, and a real show. You’re not just a subscriber; you’re a co-builder. I work for you. This work either exists, or it doesn’t. Your click decides.

Objection & Answer (because our community asks smart questions)
“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, monthly moves the needle today.
“I already read your work for free. Why pay?” You’re not paying for access — you’re funding existence. You’re the reason these stories are researched, written, edited, filmed, and kept free for everyone else.
“Will the show really launch on Dec 1?” That’s the plan — and it’s why we’re doing a daily countdown. When we hit 4,000, we flip the switch: editor and producer onboarded, first episodes scheduled, studio locked.
“What do I get as a founding member?” You fund the core team. You’ll get early behind-the-scenes peeks, private updates, and my personal thanks — and you’ll know this show exists because you made it possible.
If you’ve ever felt, “Someone should build a platform that tells the truth,” this is me asking you to help me do exactly that — now.

The Daily Ritual (from now to Dec 1)
Every morning: a short membership post plus a signature piece of reporting. Every evening: a progress update on our march to 4,000. The ask will be the same because the mission hasn’t changed: help me keep this work alive and launch the show. If you’re already a member, share this with three people who trust your judgment. Tell them why you joined — and ask them to join you.

Love and appreciate each of you.
Your friend and brother,
Shaun
