This Tuesday is Giving Tuesday, one of the most important fundraising days of the year for nonprofits like The Intercept. And this year Giving Tuesday is more important than ever, because 2021 has been an extremely challenging year for journalism, and The Intercept is no exception.
The minute Donald Trump left office, TV news ratings, newspaper readership, and traffic to news websites dropped sharply. And fewer readers means fewer donations.
In fact, as of this moment, we’re about $250,000 behind where we were at this point in 2020.
But here’s the good news: Last year, between Giving Tuesday and the end of the year, we raised more than $500,000. So, there’s still time to catch up, but the window is closing.

PAOV — “It is a basic human right for a person to have control over whether they want to have a child or not. Therefore prescription contraception should not be viewed as a luxury, but instead, as a right.” British Columbia’s government promised to implement free prescription birth control in the province back in 2020, but has yet to do so. This petition is demanding that free prescription contraception be included in the 2022 budget. You can show your support by signing the petition now.

A,
Didier Thouvenin is a farmer in Vittel, France -- home to one of Nestlé's massive water-guzzling projects.
Together with other whistleblowers, he exposed that Nestlé was illegally dumping huge amounts of plastic and chemical waste, forcing it to admit to creating NINE massive dumping sites.
But instead of cleaning up the mess and apologizing to local residents, Nestlé filed a legal complaint against Didier for trespassing! We know it won’t stop there -- there were 11 other activists with Didier that day and Nestlé is famous for doing everything they can to silence opposition to protect its profits.
Didier just told us he URGENTLY needs to secure a lawyer to fight back. If enough of us chip in, we can create a legal defense fund for Didier and other brave activists standing up to Nestlé... can you help?

PBI on Wet'suwet'en and Gitxsan territory

This past week we were present on Wet'suwet'en and Gitxsan territory in northern British Columbia as the RCMP acted with militarized force against the land defence struggle opposing the Coastal GasLink fracked gas pipeline being built without free, prior and informed consent.
We arrived when the first police raid was happening and left as the last land defenders were being released from custody.
Please find below our reports from this extraordinary week.

Bayer was NOT expecting this

A,
We have a new plan to take on Bayer-Monsanto and their bee-killing pesticides: buy up shares and fight them from the inside!
We’ve spent years taking on these giants, and we’ve had incredible success. But their resources are endless, and they always find ways to bully beekeepers and keep their poisons on shelves and in our food.
So here’s what we’ll do -- if enough people chip in, SumOfUs will buy stock in Bayer-Monsanto -- then work to rally other shareholders, turn up at their AGM, and ratchet up pressure on execs over their bee-killing ways.
We know this works. Just last year a SumOfUs shareholder resolution forced Apple to publish its first-ever human rights policy. Now it’s Monsanto’s turn.
For the next 24 hours we’ll use everything you give to generate matching donations from big funders, doubling your impact -- can you help buy a piece of Bayer-Monsanto and save the bees?
PUMA supporting illegal settlements

A,
Over 120,000 signatures, including yours, were delivered to PUMA offices and stores in London, Paris, Berlin, Kuala Lumpur and more cities across the world last week.
Together, we’re demanding the sports label to stop its complicity with the Israeli apartheid regime’s oppression of Palestinian people. With the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People coming up next week, it’s time to turn up the heat.
Let’s use this week to show PUMA that the petition was just the start -- and that we’re not going away until it respects international humanitarian law and human rights!
Will you help dial up the pressure by sending a tweet to PUMA calling on it to stop sponsoring illegal Israeli settlements and cancel its contract with the Israel Football Association?
Send a tweet to tell PUMA to end its complicity with the Israeli apartheid state and to respect Palestinian human rights.
Thanks for...
