If you don’t know who The Yes Men are, then you’re living life wrong. Remember when General Electric announced they would give back billions of dollars in tax refund because America had done so much for them? And then it turned out it was a group of merry pranksters? THAT was the Yes Men, and it was just one of their many pranks shining a light on the dark underside of capitalism. You can watch one of their stunts here.
The stakes have never been higher (and our need for your support has never been greater).
For over two decades, Truthout’s journalists have worked tirelessly to give our readers the news they need to understand and take action in an increasingly complex world. At a time when we should be reaching even more people, big tech has suppressed independent news in their algorithms and drastically reduced our traffic. Less traffic this year has meant a sharp decline in donations.
The fact that you’re reading this message gives us hope for Truthout’s future and the future of democracy. As we cover the news of today and look to the near and distant future we need your help to keep our journalists writing.
Please do what you can today to help us keep working for the coming months and beyond.
