Before Midnight: Last Chance to Have Your Gift Matched!

Before midnight tonight, all donations to Truthout will be matched dollar for dollar up to $11,000! Thanks to a generous supporter, your one-time gift today will be matched immediately. As well, your monthly donation will be matched for the whole first year, doubling your impact.

We have just a few hours left to raise $11,000 and receive the full match.

This matching gift comes at a critical time. As Trump attempts to silence dissenting voices and oppositional nonprofits, reader support is our best defense against the right-wing agenda.
