  • END OF YEAR APPEAL


  • Thank you for reading CounterPunch. Our readers keep us going. We greatly appreciate you. We are excited to announce that a generous donor, Gregory Kafoury, is ready to match all donations up to $10,000. We have until December 31 to reach this goal. If you have the means, please pitch in! We could use the extra cushion heading into 2026, which is sure to be even more volatile than 2025. If you haven't had a chance to donate this year and find us a valuable resource, please consider making a tax-deductible donation. Happy New Year!
