I'm starting to get overwhelmed. I need some help
How I can step things up here in Michigan.
I’m hearing from people every single day… stories about what’s really happening inside our schools and local governments. Things that aren’t being reported. Things that should be.
The truth is, I can’t keep up with all of it on my own. And some of these stories are too important to ignore. This is why I left the mainstream media.
I need help to keep going… to dig deeper, to ask the hard questions, and to hold people accountable.
If you believe in real, independent journalism that isn’t afraid to speak up, I’m asking you to stand with me.
For less than $1 a week, you can help me bring these stories to light.

If you want more flexibility, I’ve also set up a GiveSendGo where you can give one time or monthly. Some people prefer that option so they can support when and how they want. Every dollar helps fund real investigations and uncover stories others won’t touch.
I’m Dave Bondy, an independent journalist focused on holding power accountable and telling stories others overlook. After 25 years in television news, I left mainstream media because I saw firsthand how access, pressure, and internal dynamics can limit tough reporting on those in power. Today, I report directly to my audience, prioritizing transparency, real conversations, and stories that don’t always make it into traditional coverage.
