Urgent appeal for your support: Help us fight political repression.

Truthout urgently appeals for your support. Under pressure from an array of McCarthyist anti-speech tactics, independent journalists at Truthout face new and mounting political repression.

We rely on your support to publish movement journalism — in fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you. Yet, donations are down at this moment of crisis. We may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser.

We have 3 days to hit our $28,000 goal. Please contribute a tax-deductible gift to Truthout at this critical moment.
