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 $50,000 in the next nine 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.
