Journalist Malaika Jabali is working on a project about Black workers in the Midwest, from warehouse workers to nurses to Uber/Lyft drivers. Her work on Black Midwesterners, and particularly the economic issues they face, has been featured in The Guardian, Vox, and Current Affairs among others.
When featuring Midwesterners and how they vote, media outlets virtually always center white moderates and conservatives. This project shares the perspectives of Black working-class Midwesterners, how they vote, and how, if at all, they may lose interest in voting.
