t r u t h o u t | The holidays are almost upon us - and we know it's not always easy to find gifts for people who care about progressive politics and independent ideas. You might already be expecting some unwanted presents from well-meaning conservative relatives, too.
But Truthout is here to help. From the darkly sarcastic humor of The Onion to the inspiring speeches of Howard Zinn, you can order books, films and more from us that are just right for the smart, critical thinker in your life - or maybe just for you!
Be sure to check out some of the other Progressive Picks still available from Truthout, from authors like Amy Goodman, Greg Palast, Chris Hayes, Michelle Alexander and Rachel Maddow.

Howard Zinn Speaks: Collected Speeches 1963 to 2009: https://members.truth-out.org/bgift107-gift/choose-type-donation
Edited by Anthony Arnove
"Few people changed more lives than Howard Zinn," says Naomi Klein. "He changed them as an author, as a playwright and as a filmmaker. But he also changed them face-to-face, as a speaker. With ferocious moral clarity and mischievous humor, Howard turned routine anti-war rallies into profound explorations of state violence and he turned staid academic conferences into revival meetings for social change." Now for the first time, Zinn's inspirational talks are collected in this historic anthology.
The Onion Book of Known Knowledge: A Definitive Encyclopaedia of Existing Information: https://members.truth-out.org/bgift106-gift/choose-type-donation
The Onion strikes back with its biting ironic humor. If you like your laughs wry and on the dark side, this is the book for you: "Are you a witless cretin with no reason to live? Would you like to know more about every piece of knowledge ever? Do you have cash? Then congratulations, because just in time for the death of the print industry as we know it comes the final book ever published, and the only one you will ever need: The Onion's compendium of all things known."
2013 Peace Calendar: Occupy the Future: https://members.truth-out.org/bgift100-gift/choose-type-donation
From Syracuse Cultural Workers
Welcome in the New Year with a visually striking Peace Calendar dedicated to the Occupy movement. Eighteen incredibly varied and vibrant images of Occupy poster art comprise this collaged tribute to the transforming energy of the movement. Each month is dedicated to a progressive topic, ranging from support for Bradley Manning to ending patriarchy in our society. With over 200 annotations and holidays for many faiths, the 2013 Peace Calendar is an ideal holiday gift.
Genetic Roulette: The Gamble for Our Lives: https://members.truth-out.org/bgift105-gift/choose-type-donation
A film by Jeffrey M. Smith
Jeffrey M. Smith, head of the the Institute for Responsible Technology, believes that when the US government allowed genetically modified crops into our environment and food supply, it was "a gamble of unprecedented proportions." In this documentary film, Smith offers evidence that Americans' health is deteriorating, especially among children, as a result - and he offers a recipe for protecting ourselves and our future.
All of these Progressive Picks come highly recommended for Truthout readers and your friends and family.
To order by phone, call (213) 489-1971 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time.
Sincerely,
The Truthout Team
