Perhaps never before in history has the human species been at such a turning point. If we continue forward along our current trajectory, the environment, economy, government, and socio-political systems upon which civilization depends are sure to collapse.
Another “never before” is the pace at which corporate power is taking full control of government decision-making and opting to charge full steam ahead with business as usual in regards to fossil fuel exploitation and consumption. Our situation is urgent. As former NASA chief scientist Waleed Abdalati told me in a recent interview, “We’re effectively taking a sledgehammer to the climate system.”
Truthout and I continue to focus on these stories. Yet we are also bringing attention to the victories against these systems that continue to occur, victories that remind us that a shift in consciousness is continuing. Just recently I reported on how farmers in El Salvador united to block Monsanto’s GMO corn seed from being allowed into their country alongside a US economic package.
With more at stake than ever, you need accurate information to make informed decisions. My colleagues and I at Truthout are more committed than ever to bringing you that information, but we can’t do it without your support. I urge you to donate today!

An important fundraising appeal: Fell Short of Our Goal
Truthout is one of only a few platforms for justice-oriented, grassroots journalism. Today, as political censorship from the right intensifies, we have no choice but to ask for your help.
We just finished a fundraiser to cover our basic operating expenses for June, but we fell short of our goal. If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Anything you can do makes a difference — we appreciate your support.
