I'm really trying to hopefully create some structure for us to have at least one nonprofit that will fund trans journalists at a living wage of at least $25 an hour, which I honestly don't think is a lot, especially in a place like LA, but $25 an hour is probably more than you can get. almost anywhere as a trans journalist also.

I've heard a lot of jokes about, you know, we're passing around the same $20 in the trans community. And it's a little bit more of that. But I'm also hoping to see if I can try to fundraise from other people and try to, you know, raise awareness for this issue. Because I don't have a lot of time myself to be writing articles these days because I do have a full-time job.

But yeah, hoping to kind of make a dent on this issue and raise awareness. And it's really a win-win for all trans people that, you know, if we're paying people who need this money to survive. But they're also creating really important news coverage that literally is like life-changing for everyone. hundreds of thousands, millions of people at many times.

And that's how I see it's an exceptionally important issue that is completely unaddressed.

One of the most expensive articles that we did at MaddieCastNews earlier last month was about Maryland prisons and how they're basically torture chambers for trans women, as most prisons are. But it seems like they're especially bad in Maryland, despite it being... supposedly a safe transfer, you know, 70% Democrats.

And that was kind of an example of just like how, uh, unprofitable, how impossible to not, not just unprofitable. Cause when you think I'm profitable, it's like, Oh, you're not making money. It's not about that. It's like, it's, you're losing like 80% of the money you put into these articles because it takes so many, like, I'm, I'm very strong believer of paying people, you know, a living wage.

So, um, I was paying the journalists like well over $25 an hour for, you know, dozens of hours of work. And that adds up really fast. And then court fee, like a pacer fees, every, all these other costs are adding up and it ends up being like around a thousand dollars for the single article. And it's a really important article that, you know, raised a lot of awareness.

Everyone in Maryland in the trans circle, they're talking about it. But at the same time, it's basically a charity project, right? This is why I'm trying to become a nonprofit because there's simply no other way to be able to fund this stuff. There's no capitalist model for reporting on trans women in prison.
