Kenny_AnthonyCASTRIES, St Lucia — The Lucian People’s Movement (LPM) said it is deeply concerned about ongoing national security breaches that have occurred under the leadership of St. Lucia’s prime minister, Dr. Kenny Anthony, in particular recent scandals involving St. Lucia visas.

The LPM pointed to the recent disclosure by the Associated Press (AP) that a total of 38 Cuban nationals who had hoped to gain illegal entry into the United States (U.S.) were all in possession of St. Lucian visas at the time of their interception at sea by U.S. patrol vessels.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
