An urgent appeal for your support: We Have Until Midnight to raise $10,000

Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.

Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when independent journalism is urgently needed, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to increasing political censorship.

Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we launched a fundraiser. We have until midnight tonight to hit our $10,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation if you can.
