Truthout is a vital news source and a living history of political struggle. If you think our work is valuable, support us with a donation of any size.
In 2005, filmmaker and Truthout reporter Chris Hume took the nation’s pulse. He traveled the forgotten corners of America and let the people speak. It proved to be a disturbing, humorous and surprising odyssey. In the pivotal year of 2008, he traveled even further. This is the first of a series of episodes from “Red State Road Trip 2”: a 10,000-mile journey into the heart of America. Short videos from the documentary will appear on Truthout every few days for the next several weeks.
Day One:
To purchase the DVD of Red State Road Trip 2, please visit redstateroadtrip.com. Forty percent of the proceeds will be donated to Truthout.
25 Years of Truthout: An important fundraising appeal
This September, Truthout is celebrating 25 years of publication. For over two decades, we have been a trusted source for fiercely independent journalism thanks to readers like you.
Looking to the next 25 years, we launched a special fundraising campaign. We still need to raise $16,000.
We are asking for your support at this juncture because we face greater threats than ever before in our organizational history. Trump and his MAGA allies are determined to control the information ecosystem, and movement-based organizations are subject to dangerous censorship and scrutiny.
If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work and our legacy. Anything you can do makes a difference!
