Our Situation Is Urgent

With more at stake than ever, you need accurate information to make informed decisions.

Perhaps never before in history has the human species been at such a turning point. If we continue forward along our current trajectory, the environment, economy, government, and socio-political systems upon which civilization depends are sure to collapse.

Another “never before” is the pace at which corporate power is taking full control of government decision-making and opting to charge full steam ahead with business as usual in regards to fossil fuel exploitation and consumption. Our situation is urgent. As former NASA chief scientist Waleed Abdalati told me in a recent interview, “We’re effectively taking a sledgehammer to the climate system.”

Truthout and I continue to focus on these stories. Yet we are also bringing attention to the victories against these systems that continue to occur, victories that remind us that a shift in consciousness is continuing. Just recently I reported on how farmers in El Salvador united to block Monsanto’s GMO corn seed from being allowed into their country alongside a US economic package.

With more at stake than ever, you need accurate information to make informed decisions. My colleagues and I at Truthout are more committed than ever to bringing you that information, but we can’t do it without your support. I urge you to donate today!

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We must raise $50,000 to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
