Truthout is a vital news source and a living history of political struggle. If you think our work is valuable, support us with a donation of any size.
In “Birthing Justice: Women Creating Economic and Social Alternatives,” 12 women from movements around the world invite us into their lives, sharing their vision of what the world can and must become, and showing us what they and their community are doing to build that world. From Idla Martines de Souza organizing with the Landless Workers Movement in Brazil, to Emem Okon building peace in middle of a resource war in Nigeria, to Juana Ferrer and Via Campesina turning towards food sovereignty to end gender violence, each of these women have important wisdom and vision to share with us all.

An urgent appeal for your support: 7 Days to raise $41,000
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’ve launched a fundraiser. We have 7 days to hit our $41,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation if you can.
