Today, the front page of the Anchorage Daily News print edition is blank.

Here’s why. Image
Over the past month, @adndotcom has published a profile of sexual abuse survivors on the front page of the paper each day as part of our joint project #Unheard.
The project explores the high rate of sexual assault in the state by encouraging survivors to shape how their stories are told — in writing, as well as visually.
@otraletra, @nadiasussman, @aggggnessss, @kylehopkinsAK, @Theriault_Boots spoke to survivors across the state, collaborating with them on how they wanted their stories told — and shown.

Visual journalists from the Anchorage Daily News collaborated with survivors on how they wanted to be photographed and represented. They traveled a combined 10,000 miles to photograph all 29.

Anonymity in journalism is not taken lightly.

But some of our participants needed it for their safety.

While protecting those who felt they needed it, we wanted to provide a sense of agency to all in choosing how much to reveal.

Here are the results:
features.propublica.org/alaska-sexual-…
Alaska has the highest rate of sexual assault in the nation, and a staggering history of failing to hold perpetrators responsible.

We know there are many more out there — so we wanted to dedicate a space for those who aren’t ready to share.

Hence, the blank front page. Image
“This space is dedicated to those not yet ready to share.

Speaking about rape and sexual assault is difficult.

Many survivors in Alaska may not be in a position to do so right now.

We’re leaving this open for you.” Image
Today, we add another medium: an outdoor installation at the @AnchorageMuseum.

The 27 giant panels outside of the museum are joined by recorded audio from most of the people featured.

Literally making their voices heard.

It will be on view through mid-September. ImageImageImage
On Friday, July 10, at 12 p.m. AKDT/4 p.m. EDT, join us for a digital event with:

- members of the reporting team
- an advocate who works w/ in AK
- a person who chose to share their story in #Unheard

THREAD: Last year, ProPublica started receiving tips from an unusual kind of source: flight attendants.

They said they'd worked on deportation flights for ICE, and they could tell us what it was really like on board. 1/
Most of the flight attendants hadn't knowingly signed up to help deport people. When they took their jobs, they’d expected to fly VIPs to glamorous locales.

Then the airline started working for ICE, and many or most of their passengers were detainees, people in chains. 2/
We spoke with 7 current and former Global Crossing Airlines crew members. Their accounts were consistent with one another and aligned with what’s in legal filings and other records about ICE Air—important because neither GlobalX nor ICE answered any of ProPublica's questions. 3/

1/ Formaldehyde is a chemical that causes an inescapable cancer risk for everyone in America.

It’s in the air we breathe. And it’s in our homes: our couches, our clothes, even babies’ cribs.

So what can you do to reduce your exposure? THREAD 🧵
2/ First, furniture.

Composite wood is a material that essentially contains a mix of wood fibers glued together. The glues are the issue: They can contain formaldehyde that then gets released into the air over time.
3/ One thing you can do is look at an item’s packaging for a label showing it is compliant with the standards set under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Caveat: Compliance does not mean it’s formaldehyde free; it just means emissions are low enough to meet requirements.

1/ Business lobbyist Virginia Lamp once said anti-immigration attitudes are “based on a type of selfish nationalism.”

Today she's better known as Ginni Thomas: wife of Clarence Thomas, and an "America-first" election denier.

What’s changed — for her and the US? 🧵
2/ For decades, the business community’s role in politics was to fend off threats to immigrant labor.

Sure, it probably wasn’t more complicated than economic self-interest. But business orgs were always *involved.*

In doing so, they moderated the nation’s immigration debate. Side profile of a young Ginni Thomas, then Virginia Lamp, looking intently into the distance. She has curly, short hair, and her hand is placed on her chin in thought.
President George W. Bush speaks to a group of small business owners at the Chamber of Commerce in 2004. Behind him, a banner reads “Strengthening America’s Economy.”
3/ Business groups helped negotiate Reagan’s legalization of the status of undocumented immigrants in 1986. They fought for the creation of several new and expanded visa categories, as well as the Temporary Protected Status program in 1990.

Now things have shifted.
