The global fight to destroy corruption is on. The clash between people power and corporate power is clear in the United States, where it’s illegal to smoke marijuana but it’s good business to leech tax dollars and swindle homeowners, where students get pepper-sprayed for sitting in a circle and banks literally get free money, where torture is frowned upon but never prosecuted, where so-called “religious liberty” is more important than women’s health, where culture is commodified and where free speech is an excuse for the all-out auctioning of our democracy.
Despite the hypocrisy and outright corruption, the fight is not even close to lost! Every day people across the country and the world are letting go of their fear and thrusting their bodies into the fray. The stakes could not be higher. However, the dedication of the people to force change is unstoppable.
It’s clear that the next eight months will be the most intense campaign season we’ve ever seen, thanks to the unlimited money that will flood in from unseen corporate board rooms and billionaires. Join with us to keep the focus like a laser on the values of peace, democracy and justice. Help us send reporters to the front lines of the confrontation between money power and people power. Preserve a hub for productive outrage, skeptical reporting and courageous new ideas.
If you want to be a part of a values-driven, people-powered media organization, please make a contribution today. The early part of the year is often slow for fundraising, so your support today is deeply appreciated by the entire Truthout team! We still need to raise about $26,000. Can you help?
