An important fundraising appeal: We fell short of our goal

Thank you for reading Truthout today. We have a brief message before you go.

Unfortunately, donations are down for Truthout at a time when media faces immense pressure. Yet, grassroots media is vital in the fight against Trump’s authoritarian reign. Our mandate to tell the truth, share strategies for resistance, and speak against fascism grows more urgent each day. We must appeal for your support.

If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Please give today.
