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.
