A Grinding Halt

Jason Leopold discusses his passion and dedication for the work he does at Truthout and how you can support our efforts.

Without your financial support, my work – our work – will come to a grinding halt.

Right now, the presidential candidates and the Super PACs are soliciting tens of millions of dollars from the public to fill their their campaign coffers as the race for the White House enters a crucial phase.

But Truthout’s cause is no less urgent: If we don’t make our monthly budget, it will derail my investigative work and that of my colleagues. It’s just that simple.

You see, long after the election is over, the crucial issues we’ve been reporting on for eleven years will still demand coverage. The truth is that no matter what happens on November 6, the war in Afghanistan will still be raging and it will need to be written about critically and honestly. The assault on your civil liberties won’t suddenly cease. The government is not going to stop mining your emails. Drones will be patrolling the skies, Guantanamo will remain open, Wall Street will continue to get away with financial crimes and no one will be held accountable.

But at least you can count on Truthout to empower you with the information you’re unlikely to read anywhere else. That’s as long as we’re still here in 2013 – we can’t afford to miss our budget, and we still need to raise around $25,000. Can you make a donation 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?
