Part of the Series
Ladydrawers
Welcome to the second strip in our “Growing Season” series, the ongoing comics journalism series for Truthout in which The Ladydrawers investigate connections between food, gender, race and public health in comics form.
Following up on “Roots and Migrations,” the first strip in the new series, our second installment “Stinging Nettles” takes a peek at the food culture and traditions of North America before colonization – and what it takes to keep them alive today. Next time, we’ll look at an innovative food justice operation with international impact with everyone’s favorite Melissa Mendes; then Sarah Becan will return with a strip on who practices food policy. Yum!
25 Years of Truthout: An important fundraising appeal
This September, Truthout is celebrating 25 years of publication. For over two decades, we have been a trusted source for fiercely independent journalism thanks to readers like you.
As we look to the next 25 years, we have launched a special fundraising campaign. Looking to a sustainable future for our publication, we have a fundraising goal of $71,000 in the next 5 days.
We are asking for your support at this juncture because we face greater threats than ever before in our organizational history. Trump and his MAGA allies are determined to control the information ecosystem, and movement-based organizations are subject to dangerous censorship and scrutiny.
If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work and our legacy. Anything you can do makes a difference!
