Did you know that Truthout is a nonprofit and independently funded by readers like you? If you value what we do, please support our work with a donation.
Some folks
Claim that a desire for privacy
Is an admission of guilt
And that the innocent
Should have nothing to hide
Unless you’re in government
Where secrets have undergone
A miraculous transformation
From signs of suspicion
To things of beauty
And having to answer
The least little question
About their wholesomeness
Is regarded as torture
An urgent appeal for your support: 6 Days to raise $38,000
Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.
Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when independent journalism is urgently needed, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to increasing political censorship.
Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser. We have 6 days to hit our $38,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation if you can.
