The fight against war begins with you: Donate to the World Socialist Web Site
Last week, Congress passed the largest military budget of any country in human history, totaling $895 billion. The corporate media has imposed a blackout on the contents of this bill. What you won't hear on cable news or read in major newspapers is that it updates every leg of the U.S. nuclear program, submarines, missiles, and bombers. It creates new, more usable classes of nuclear weapons and mandates the deployment of 450 new intercontinental ballistic missiles, each capable of causing unimaginable destruction.
At the same time, the social programs that millions of people depend on—social security, Medicare, and public health funding—are being starved to fund war against Russia, the militarization of the Pacific, and the genocide in Gaza. The ruling class has made it clear: endless militarism will be paid for by the working class through economic hardship, cuts to essential programs, and ultimately, their lives.
The World Socialist Web Site is dedicated to exposing and opposing these war plans. We believe that the struggle against war is inseparable from the fight to defend the social and economic rights of the working class. To continue this work, we need your support. The World Socialist Web Site operates independently of corporate funding and government influence. We rely entirely on donations from readers like you. Your contribution helps us provide daily analysis of global events, report on the class struggle worldwide, and fight to mobilize workers and youth against war and militarism. It ensures that the truth about the ruling class's war plans, hidden by the media and obscured by politicians, reaches the working class.
Donate to the World Socialist Web Site New Year Fund to stand with us in this fight. Together, we will build a socialist movement that ensures that the 21st century will be not humanity's last, but the threshold to a great future.

The WSWS represents workers
“I support the WSWS because it represents and keeps workers, especially autoworkers, informed of what's going on and of what the manufacturers do not want workers to know about. The WSWS exposes the companies and corporate media and puts them on the spot. The information put out by the WSWS on the COVID-19 pandemic is a prime example of this.”
An organization dedicated to the working class
“As a performing musician I was actively involved in representing my orchestra colleagues in contract negotiations. After 42 years on the job this is no longer the case. I now rely on a fixed retirement income which is under constant attack by government officials eager to please the corporate elite at the expense of the working class. Finding an organization that is dedicated to helping the working class is absolutely necessary, and THAT is why I support the World Socialist Web Site.”
A program to build the leadership of the working class
“The WSWS provides genuine journalism, including about the class struggle and experiences of the working class. On top of that, there is political, economic and philosophical theory, education and history. Then, there is guidance, strategy and a program to build the leadership of the working class to win the battle for socialism. It’s an honor to help with donations.”
Vital for raising consciousness
“I donate to the WSWS because the website provides important political analysis of world events on a daily basis. This analysis is vital for raising the political consciousness of the working class and organizing it for the struggle against capitalism.”
A year of major political initiatives
The WSWS is not just a news website; it is a vital tool in the struggle for a socialist future. As the publication of the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI), the world Trotskyist movement, the WSWS provides a revolutionary socialist perspective on world events, analyzing all the crucial issues of our time.
Over the past year, we have carried out numerous critical initiatives, including election campaigns in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Sri Lanka, as well as events and rallies internationally, including a powerful demonstration in Washington, D.C. on July 24, opposing the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
We have advanced a socialist strategy to stop the genocide in Gaza and the war in Ukraine, oppose the threat of fascism and attacks on democratic rights, end the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change, and address the central issues confronting the international working class. Your donation will help us to deepen this struggle and reach a wider audience among workers and youth globally.
