Spring is the season for optimism and renewal. But if you worry about the future, you’re not alone. Here’s what we’re up against: the accelerating climate catastrophe. A renewed threat of nuclear destruction. Authoritarianism on the march at home and abroad. The world needs principled, independent media now more than ever to meet these crises head on—and we need you!
To investigate and expose the powerful.
To inform, inspire, and activate working people to join the movements and change-makers on the front line fights for a more just, equitable, and livable planet.
The Real News is a viewer-supported, independent media-making network. That means every article we write, every interview we air, every podcast we produce—it’s only possible because of your support.
This viewer-supported model allows us to maintain our editorial independence. We never accept advertising dollars or cash from the corporations we’re trying to fight and we never bury our content behind annoying paywalls.
We don’t have—or want—the support of corporations and the billionaires that run them. But that means we need you to stand with us today.

With your donation, The Real News Network can continue to bring you the stories that matter most, without being beholden to corporate interests. Every dollar counts and helps us amplify the global movement for a better world.
To keep our journalism strong and independent, we must raise no less than $75,000 and add at least 99 new monthly supporters before MIDNIGHT on April 30th, and there’s just too much at stake to pull back our coverage now.
Your tax-deductible contribution today provides the on-the-ground resources our team of journalists and staff need to expand our coverage of the front line fights for justice on six continents. Your support allows us to go where mainstream media can’t—or won’t.
Are you with us?
