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.

An important message before you go 

The lion’s share of Truthout’s operating budget comes from people just like you who read a story and donate a few bucks to help support independent journalism. We don’t run ads or require subscriptions, so we depend on these small donations to stay online. 

But after more than 20 years of being donor-supported, our newsroom’s survival is at stake — and we have an urgent need for your help.  

To continue publishing our critical journalism, we need to raise $44,000 in the next 8 days. The best way to support us is by making a monthly or one-time donation in any amount. 

Please, do what you can to help us get through this, before time runs out.
