Will you help us continue our coverage on the US-Saudi led genocide in Yemen via our new campaign?
We need your help to continue coverage on US-Saudi led genocide taking place in Yemen -- the worst man made humanitarian disaster of the modern era. We don't have to fail Yemen. We can show them support by amplifying their voices through journalism that highlights their plight and puts pressure on our politicians to end the war.
MintPress became one of the only journalism organizations that broke the media blackout on the US-Saudi-led genocide in Yemen that has left over 70% of the population starving. That's 23 million people that are expected to die by the end of this year if Saudi Arabia doesn't stop bombing Yemen's food supply and lift it's illegal blockade. That's less than 30 days. Don't allow Yemeni's to disappear from the media sphere of coverage!
Our extensive coverage, which was made possible through the financial support of our readers, has brought the plight of the once silenced Yemeni people to the attention of the international community. MintPress broke the school bus bombing story that left over 50 children dead before the mainstream media picked it up and made it headline news. Saudi Arabia took notice and named MintPress as an international media threatt disrupting their propaganda machine to justify the war there in a meeting in Jeddah this summer.
Independent coverage like this can force the mainstream media and general public to pay attention, even if briefly. Our coverage created ripples that have had an influence on the attitude of Americans on both Yemen and our relationship with Saudi Arabia. We have the power to influence the overall narrative on Yemen and potentially the outcome of the war but we need your financial help to continue doing so.
It’s not just Yemen. We’re giving a voice and spotlight to the people of the Global South ravaged by economic sanctions, regime change operations, military coups and war imposed by the US military and it’s proxies.
We can't do this alone and with a concerted effort to wipe us off the map of social media, our survival depends on your support. Yemenis also appreciate having their voice heard and their story of life under war shared across the globe.
