Truthout is an indispensable resource for activists, movement leaders and workers everywhere. Please make this work possible with a quick donation.
Watch the complete version of Abby Martin’s three-part series covering Chevron’s disaster in Ecuador, on teleSUR’s “The Empire Files.”
Abby launches a deep investigation into Chevron Texaco’s intentional spilling of 19 billion gallons of oil and waste in Ecuador’s pristine Amazon rainforest — and the 25-year-long legal battle that followed.
Featuring interviews with victims, expert and Ecuadorean heads of state, this documentary reveals the full breadth of Chevron’s crime, and its outrageous acts against its victims ever since.
An important fundraising appeal: 7 Days to raise $44,000
Donations are down for Truthout at a time when media is under immense pressure. Google’s AI search has driven our traffic down by 15 percent, Trump is arresting journalists, and many independent media organizations face heartbreaking cutbacks and closures.
At the same time, movement 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 is ever more urgent in this deluge of political censorship and misinformation. Yet, we are struggling to meet our publishing costs when our work is so urgently needed.
We are fundraising right now for those basic operating expenses — we need $44,000 in the next 7 days. If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Anything you can do makes a difference.
