Hi there,

In the six months since President Trump’s inauguration, we have seen unprecedented attacks on the press. Instead of pushing back, corporate owners of commercial networks are caving in. Because we do not accept any corporate or government funding, we rely on audience members like you to sustain our work. I hope you will donate today to support our independent journalism.Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

A Different Kind of Christian Political Activism

Listen

Any media discussion about Christians, Christianity or Christian political activism inevitably seems to focus on right wing evangelical groups like the Christian Coalition. Because of their growing power in recent years, everything from opposition to abortion to gay bashing, are often presented as mainstream Christian responses. Today on Democracy Now!, we look at another kind of Christian political activism — one based in a sense of social justice, that defends women’s rights and that seeks to feed the hungry, house the homeless and comfort the sick.
