By giving a monthly donation of even a small amount, you can make a big difference to Truthout’s future. Sign up just once and read on, knowing that you’ve pledged your ongoing support!

Student debt strikers with the Debt Collective converged on Washington this week to pressure the Department of Education to grant them relief after being defrauded by higher education profiteers.

Unfortunately, the department had other ideas in mind.

We don’t have much time — can you help?

With everything going on right now — from escalating white supremacy to the threat of nuclear war to the climate change-fueled disasters across the world — Truthout is working overtime to bring you the latest information as it happens.

But we’re still facing an existential threat to our survival, and we can’t keep publishing without your support. Donations are down across the board, making it absolutely imperative that we raise the $46,000 we need to meet our news production costs this month. 

We’ve been proudly donor-supported for two decades, but our future will depend on the action our readers take today. Whether you’re able to make a $5 monthly donation, or give more — we need you. 

Please, do what you can to help us get through this trying time.
