Dear readers and friends of Toward Freedom,

Things have taken a productive turn over the past seven months since I came onboard as Editor. Here are a few highlights:

  • We hosted a webinar for the first time in years that introduced Toward Freedom to many new people;
  • I was dispatched for a week to cover the Nicaraguan elections to report the truth corporate media wouldn’t cover;
  • We kicked off a series of reports on how the United States uses “humanitarian interventions” to destroy and dominate;
  • I recruited new writers like Danny Shaw, Jacqueline Luqman and Jeremy Kuzmarov;
  • We reported behind-the-scenes coverage of COP26,
  • Toward Freedom rebranded our website with a fresh new logo and layout.

We’ve done all this because we’re up against the Goliath that is the corporate media. Starting in 1952, Toward Freedom has committed to remaining financially independent to cover liberation struggles the corporate media ignores. This year, between reporting on the Nicaragua elections to ground coverage of Colombia and Haiti, Toward Freedom has continued its mission of documenting anti-colonial movements.

At the end of a fruitful year, we ask you to support us to keep growing independent, grassroots media coverage. In 2022, we envision celebrating our 70th anniversary by expanding our staff, establishing an Africa Bureau for more reports from the continent and consistently producing multimedia content on liberation struggles.

As you consider the many worthy nonprofit organizations seeking end-of-year gifts, please give serious thought to contributing a generous donation to Toward Freedom, the only U.S. publication that covered the 1955 Bandung Conference that kicked off the Non-Aligned Movement—and now among the few independent U.S. publications covering liberation struggles in the Americas, Africa and Asia.
