t r u t h o u t | Last night, supporters of women's rights packed the Texas Capitol to support Sen. Wendy Davis' filibuster and stop repressive anti-abortion legislation. The Supreme Court stuck a dagger in the Voting Rights Act this week, but has declared the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional. Meanwhile, in Brazil and Turkey, thousands are protesting unjust economic policies and governments. These fights for justice are ongoing, and Truthout needs your support to cover them - can you help us with a tax-deductible donation today?
