Each week, EHRP’s original reporting appears in major nationwide publications and film festivals — amplifying the voices of independent and financially struggling journalists.
- EHRP contributor Laura Jedeed’s EHRP/Teen Vogue/Lux piece now appears in MSN and Head Topics. The feature investigation of the far-right’s takeover of accessible education “would be impossible in today’s environment,” according to Jedeed, without our support.
- The EHRP-supported film “RATIFIED” screened at Docs for Democracy and appears at the Montclair Film Festival October 26-27. See free screenings in Idaho November 2-3.
- EHRP Executive Director Alissa Quart’s documentary poem “Clinic,” originally published by EHRP/Literary Hub, is in Volume 1 of Abobo Zine — a digital zine focused on abortion and reproductive justice.

EHRP IRL
- Artist and EHRP collaborator Diana Weymar recently celebrated her new book Crafting a Better World with an exhibit at NYC’s Lingua Franca gallery. Weymar’s show contains embroidered quotes from the likes of Roxane Gay, Stephen King and… EHRP! And it’s up for the next two weeks. See more EHRP/Weymar collaborative projects in Hyperallergic and on Instagram.
- The EHRP-supported epic photo project by contributor Matt Black, “Geography of Poverty,” has a second installment — it’s now a book! Read about the initial project and check out this book event on October 30.
EHRP IN THE PRESS
- EHRP Senior Editor Deborah Jian Lee joins EWA Radio to discuss her Eddie Award-winning EHRP/Esquire report on LGBTQ+ student activists fighting to expose taxpayer-funded university discrimination of queer and trans students.
- Read Portland Monthly’s great coverage of Rian Dundon’s latest photography book Passenger. This project began with Dundon’s EHRP/New York Times piece documenting his life after the birth of his daughter.
EHRP AMPLIFIES
- This month, KC Tenants launched the largest U.S. rent strike in decades. Last year, EHRP helped popularize the story of this Kansas City, MO tenants union with our short documentary, “Renter Revolt,” published by TIME.
- From campaign stunts to stump speeches, McDonald’s has become a weirdly central electoral motif. Alex Park’s EHRP/TIME piece explains why.
EHRP RECOMMENDS
