Thank you for reading Truthout. Before you go…
…We ask that you take just a second to read this message.

We need your help to sustain the fight against authoritarianism in 2026. Please take a meaningful action in this fight: make a one-time or monthly donation to Truthout. If you have the means, please dig deep.
