About The Proletariat Press
Information should accessible and reliable. As local and independent news sources began to go out of business across Florida, the primary source of news came in the form of communications companies buying out local news companies and streamlining hollow stories without accountability. At the Proletariat Press we understand how important the decisions that impact the working class are, and far too often these stories are never told. The news should be educational, objective, and accurate. We want to pave the way for equitable access to information and hold those accountable for the negligent leadership destroying the working class and freedom of the press.
