How did award-winning author Louise Erdrich find her voice? Renowned for her mastery of multiple genres – including 13 novels, poetry, children’s literature and a memoir of early motherhood – Erdrich discusses how her Native American heritage and unique cultural experience has impacted her life, motherhood and work. Also on the program, Bill Moyers talks with history and international relations expert and former US Army Col. Andrew J. Bacevich to discuss America’s long war in Afghanistan. Respected across the political spectrum, Bacevich has contributed to The Nation, The American Conservative, Foreign Affairs, among others, and his latest book is “The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism.”

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We must raise $16,000 before midnight to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
