Money Talks, and Climate Action: “What do we want?” “Climate action!” “When do we want it?” “Now!” What does climate action look like? Marching out on a life – if only for an afternoon – that’s inextricably bound to fossil fuels? In Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative? author Mark Fisher posits that “it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.” Again, what does climate action look like? Strolling into a nonbinding climate summit? With respect to global climate change, the difference between “inextricably bound” and “nonbinding” is life and death.

Trump is silencing political dissent. We appeal for your support.
Progressive nonprofits are the latest target caught in Trump’s crosshairs. With the aim of eliminating political opposition, Trump and his sycophants are working to curb government funding, constrain private foundations, and even cut tax-exempt status from organizations he dislikes.
We’re concerned, because Truthout is not immune to such bad-faith attacks.
We can only resist Trump’s attacks by cultivating a strong base of support. The right-wing mediasphere is funded comfortably by billionaire owners and venture capitalist philanthropists. At Truthout, we have you.
Our fundraising campaign is over, but we fell a bit short and still need your help. Please take a meaningful action in the fight against authoritarianism: make a one-time or monthly donation to Truthout. If you have the means, please dig deep.
