Truthout was founded in 2001, with George W. Bush in the White House and war hawks circling the halls of power. Haymarket Books was founded the same year. Over the wildly tumultuous political period since, our two organizations have connected organizers, activists, and curious readers with books, essays, and reported pieces that have informed and aided their efforts to understand the world and fueled their struggles to change it.
To honor our anniversaries, Truthout and Haymarket Books are coming together for a series of live-streamed events, focusing on crucial political moments and movements from the last 25 years.
In our first conversation, Truthout editor-in-chief Negin Owliaei and Maya Schenwar, director of the Truthout Center for Grassroots Journalism, joined Truthout contributors Khury Petersen-Smith and Maha Hilal to focus on the impact of the so-called “war on terror” and the social movements that have emerged since. We draw on lessons from the war on terror and the anti-war movement of the 2000s to inform today’s struggles against war and imperialism.
Press freedom is under attack
As Trump cracks down on political speech, independent media is increasingly necessary.
Truthout produces reporting you won’t see in the mainstream: journalism from the frontlines of global conflict, interviews with grassroots movement leaders, high-quality legal analysis and more.
