Uphold truth—by supporting People’s World

Dear readers and friends,

Our working class and people urgently need media that upholds the truth.

People’s World promotes solidarity. It gives voice to the heroic actions in defense of democracy, equality, and climate justice, that all of us, our fellow grassroots activists, neighbors, and co-workers are involved in.

Please donate today to support the working class press. Your donation of $20, $50 or $100 is part of a collective effort.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the nation faces an ongoing threat to democracy and a fascist coup. Most Republicans believe that Joe Biden stole the 2020 election. They believe violence is justified to restore Donald Trump to power. Millions think COVID-19 vaccines are a way to implant surveillance chips in our brains.

QUESTION: Where do people get these ideas?

ANSWER: A vast right-wing mass disinformation, propaganda, and brainwashing ecosystem, generously funded by fascist elements of corporate America, is fused to the Republican Party. It targets tens of millions of people with falsehoods and outright lies.

You can make a difference in getting the truth out. People’s World has no corporate sponsors, but our small donations put together are a mighty force. Donate $20, $50 or $100 today!

Since the creation of Fox News in 1996, the right-wing media ecosystem has exploded with hate radio, Breitbart, Sinclair Broadcasting, the Daily Wire, Newsmax, conspiratorial chat rooms, think tanks, and publishing houses.

Even during this holiday season, America’s richest right-wing billionaires are funding a vast expansion of this network, including a new social media outlet for Trump.

The “battle of ideas” is critical. Don’t you agree that the people’s movement—including the left—MUST build a media ecosystem that surpasses that of the extreme right-wing?

Readers like you stepped up to make it possible for the award-winning People’s World to meet its financial crisis in 2021.

Our staff overcame immense challenges and didn’t miss a single day of publication. PW reporters carried the news of strikes, voting rights struggles, crucial elections. The website stayed up despite the pandemic and its financial challenges—and over 3 million readers engaged with People’s World in 2021!

Donate $20, $50, or $100 now.

 

Looking forward to a new year of struggle and solidarity,

P.S. The corporate media is spreading doomsday narratives that Republicans will crush Democrats and progressive candidates in 2022 and 2024. They are determined to make us feel helpless to do anything in the face of the onslaught of voter suppression and gerrymandering.

Yes, the dangers are real but we are anything but helpless. Unlike the corporate press, People’s World highlights the growing grassroots activism defending the right to vote, protecting abortion rights, acting on climate justice, mobilizing to pass the Build Back Better Act, historic strikes, and union organizing campaigns at Starbucks, Amazon, and elsewhere.

This is the story, our story, that needs telling; the story of working people who refuse to give up and keep fighting for their families, communities, workplaces, and campuses. You are part of that story with your donation of $20, $50, or $100.
