Occupy Wall Street is in its third week, but even though the local media teams have been doing extraordinary work, the money media are still covering the protest as if it were a wildlife park. If the networks won’t bring the protesters into the studio, we’re going to bring a broadcast “studio” to the protesters. Yup, it’s another collaboration from GRITtv, The Uptake, Free Speech TV and the Media Consortium. TODAY, from 4-7 pm eastern, we will produce a three-hour special show featuring coverage of the Occupy Wall Street Labor March on satellite in all 50 states on Free Speech TV and online here.

The future of independent journalism is uncertain, and the consequences of losing it are too grave to ignore. We have hours left to raise the $12,0000 still needed to ensure Truthout remains safe, strong, and free. Every dollar raised goes directly toward the costs of producing news you can trust.
Please give what you can — because by supporting us with a tax-deductible donation, you’re not just preserving a source of news, you’re helping to safeguard what’s left of our democracy.
