And just in time!

A group of generous donors has pledged $32,000 to keep Antiwar.com afloat – but only if we can match it with smaller individual donations.

That’s where you come in…

Without your matching funds donation, we’ll have to make cutbacks in our coverage – and in our staff, which has already been cut to the bone.

We won’t ever be able to match the War Party’s resources, which are for all intents and purposes virtually unlimited. After all, they have the support of the US government – your tax dollars – and we have … well, we only have you, our readers and supporters. It’s an uneven battle to begin with, but you can help level the playing field with your tax-deductible contribution.

The War Party, like evil itself, never sleeps. They’re constantly cooking up new "crises" that supposedly require US intervention abroad. That’s why we must continue the fight – and win the peace.

Yes, we can win – but not without your help. Yes, the cavalry has arrived – but the battle is very far from over. So please – make your tax-deductible donation today.
