Urgent appeal for your support: 6 Days Left
With Trump’s fascist agenda driving the narrative, it’s the duty of independent media to disrupt corporate propaganda.
Yet, at such a pivotal moment, donations to Truthout have been declining. Why? Blatant political censorship from Big Tech.
As we face mounting repression, Truthout appeals for your support. Please donate during our fundraiser — we have 6 days left to raise $39,000.
