A fundraising appeal

An appraisal of my work as an independent journalist and human rights activist in the 20th year since I first began, on a full-time basis, researching and writing about Guantánamo and the men held there, and exposing the truth about the Bush administration’s lies and distortions regarding their alleged status as “enemy combatants”, who, they claimed, in defiance of all international and domestic laws and treaties, could be held indefinitely without charge or trial. I also reflect on my other writing over the years, most recently about Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and I invite your support, if possible, for what is an ongoing truth-telling endeavour, involving in-depth articles that provide more detail than is usually available through the mainstream media, and with a moral compass that also generally eludes the “liberal” media gatekeepers, with their alleged “objectivity” and “impartiality”, which either discourages entirely valid outrage, or props up the establishment “status quo.”

My latest quarterly call for support for my ongoing Guantánamo work, in which I also promote a crucial new way to be informed about my various endeavors, via my brand-new Substack account, which bypasses censorship and algorithmic suppression by delivering all my news directly into your inbox.

My latest quarterly fundraiser, in which I ask you, if you can, to make a donation to support my ongoing work on Guantánamo, as a reader-funded independent journalist and activist, over the next three months. As well as providing some context for why this work remains important, I also discuss my other writing — on Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and climate collapse — pointing out how, to varying degrees, my work is part of a wider effort by other independent voices to counter the general indifference and misinformation that pervades almost the whole of the mainstream media.

My latest quarterly fundraiser, in which I ask you, if you can, to make a donation to support my ongoing work on Guantánamo, over the next three months, as a reader-funded independent journalist and activist, and also my ongoing detailed writing about, and analyses of Israel’s horrific genocide in Gaza.

My latest quarterly fundraiser, in which I ask you, if you can, to make a donation to support my ongoing work on Guantánamo, over the next three months, as a reader-funded independent journalist and activist. My aim, every three months, is to raise $2500 (£2000) to enable me to continue my work, now in its 19th year.

My latest fundraiser, in which I explain why my work is uncompromising and uncompromised because I’m an independent reader-supported journalist and activist, and ask for your support to enable me to keep writing about Guantánamo, and campaigning to get the prison closed, over the next three months.

Celebrating 2,400 days since I first began posting photos and essays about London as ‘The State of London’ on Facebook (and later on X), and seeking donations to enable me to continue this unique photo-journalistic project, in which, as I describe it, I look at “London’s history, its social housing, its takeover, in recent decades, by predatory capitalism, the changing seasons, forgotten corners, rivers, hills and canals, parks and graveyards, seats of power, poverty and protests.”

My latest fundraiser, seeking $2500 (£2000) to support my work on Guantánamo (writing, campaigning, public appearances and media appearances) for the next three months, and also, if it’s of interest, to support my ongoing photo-journalism project ‘The State of London.’ I am an entirely reader-funded journalist and activist, and can only continue my work with your assistance.

My latest fundraiser, in which I ask you, if you can, to make a donation to support my work on Guantánamo for the next three months. I have no institutional backing, and so am dependent on your generosity to enable me to continue to function as a reader-funded, and truly independent, journalist and activist.

Marking the 11th anniversary of ‘The State of London’, my ongoing photo-journalism project recording the changing face of the capital, with a fundraiser seeking your support for what is an entirely reader-funded project. Over the years, I have particularly focused on the blight of ‘regeneration’ programmes, whilst also celebrating London’s astonishing history of buildings, its nature and its history of protest, although the latter is now being challenged in an unprecedented manner.
