Truthout is a vital news source and a living history of political struggle. If you think our work is valuable, support us with a donation of any size.
Without your financial support, my work – our work – will come to a grinding halt.
Right now, the presidential candidates and the Super PACs are soliciting tens of millions of dollars from the public to fill their their campaign coffers as the race for the White House enters a crucial phase.
But Truthout’s cause is no less urgent: If we don’t make our monthly budget, it will derail my investigative work and that of my colleagues. It’s just that simple.
You see, long after the election is over, the crucial issues we’ve been reporting on for eleven years will still demand coverage. The truth is that no matter what happens on November 6, the war in Afghanistan will still be raging and it will need to be written about critically and honestly. The assault on your civil liberties won’t suddenly cease. The government is not going to stop mining your emails. Drones will be patrolling the skies, Guantanamo will remain open, Wall Street will continue to get away with financial crimes and no one will be held accountable.
But at least you can count on Truthout to empower you with the information you’re unlikely to read anywhere else. That’s as long as we’re still here in 2013 – we can’t afford to miss our budget, and we still need to raise around $25,000. Can you make a donation today?

Holding Trump accountable for his illegal war on Iran
The devastating American and Israeli attacks have killed hundreds of Iranians, and the death toll continues to rise.
As independent media, what we do next matters a lot. It’s up to us to report the truth, demand accountability, and reckon with the consequences of U.S. militarism at this cataclysmic historical moment.
Trump may be an authoritarian, but he is not entirely invulnerable, nor are the elected officials who have given him pass after pass. We cannot let him believe for a second longer that he can get away with something this wildly illegal or recklessly dangerous without accountability.
We ask for your support as we carry out our media resistance to unchecked militarism. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation to Truthout.
