As @19thnews' social editor, I get to see firsthand how deeply our reporters care about the issues they're covering. I also get to be HYPED about how good the reporting is as well.
Let's go on a journey. You know I love a good thread.

In October, @keaux_ and @shoeleatherkate reported on how COVID-19 has spread inside the largest women's prison in the world. I think about this story often.
âSome of my peers have asked their families to take out life insurance policies on us.â https://19thnews.org/2020/10/503-inside-the-covid-unit-at-the-worlds-largest-womens-prison/

I've learned so much from our health reporter @shefalil, who has been covering everything from pregnancy's mortality risks to mental health to food insecurity.
Her story on COVID + home care workers, who make on avg $12 per hr, was it for me. https://19thnews.org/2020/09/for-home-care-workers-covid-19-is-a-health-crisis-and-an-economic-one/

But you know, I've been learning as a reader since my first days with @19thnews, too.
When no one was talking about how women and families were being affected by the pandemic, @ChabeliH was.
Boom. https://19thnews.org/2020/08/americas-first-female-recession/

. @bcrodriguez makes sure we don't miss a beat at the statehouse level (because whoa, so much happening there).
Her story about young women stepping up to work at the polls as older poll workers stayed home due to COVID was a real eye opener. https://19thnews.org/2020/10/poll-workers-young-women-stepping-up/

And then there are some stories you wish never had to be written bc they are just so horrible.
. @marielpadilla_ skillfully covered the illegal sterilizations happening at one GA ICE detention center as well as the long history of this happening in the U.S. https://19thnews.org/2020/09/whistleblower-complaint-hysterectomies-ice/

Another story I wish never had to be written â
2020 is the deadliest year on record for transgender people. @shoeleatherkate wrote this beautiful piece on #TDoR2020.
(Every day I am inspired by Kate and their writing and care for the people they cover.) https://19thnews.org/2020/11/transgender-day-of-remembrance-gloria-allen/

In October, @AmandaBecker said she needed to go to Arizona, so she did. Look who reported on the impact of the state's Native communities before Election Day. 
I was really proud to share this story across our social channels. https://19thnews.org/2020/10/native-women-arizona-voting-access-on-tribal-reservations/

Do y'all remember @keaux_'s first story for @19thnews? The way I felt like I was in Mississippi with Nettie. 
And this line! "...reviving a connection to the land also requires restoring rituals made fraught by chattel slavery and its scions." https://19thnews.org/2020/08/replanting-roots-in-a-southern-food-desert/

Finally, @emarvelous has written 60+ stories for us this yr so it's hard to pick just one.
But I will say that her 2020 voting experience resonated with so many. As Errin wrote, voting during the 19th Amendmentâs centennial wasnât supposed to be this way. https://19thnews.org/2020/10/voting-long-lines-philadelphia-19th-amendment-centennial/
