Dear Readers and Supporters:  One of the essays your backing and encouragement helped me write last year took First Prize in the category of “Political Commentary-National” at the 60th Annual Southern California Journalism Awards earlier this summer: https://www.truthdig.com/articles/truthdig-wins-10-prizes-at-the-60th-annual-southern-california-journalism-awards/

I also apparently took silver (second place) in the category of Minority/Immigration Reporting for this essay: https://www.truthdig.com/articles/reflections-trump-corporate-totalitarianism/
