An urgent fundraising appeal: 4 Days to raise $30,000

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 is under immense pressure. Trump is arresting journalists, Big Tech is censoring independent news, and economic conditions for media have been worsening for years.

Simultaneously, 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. Yet, we are struggling to meet our publishing costs when our work is so urgently needed.

If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Please give today during our fundraiser (4 days left).
