Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

One of the voices excluded from last night’s debate was consumer advocate Ralph Nader, the Presidential candidate for the Green Party. The bipartisan commission on Presidential Debates decided to exclude Nader, Reform Party nominee Ross Perot, Libertarian Party candidate Harry Browne, and Natural Law Party candidate John Hagelin, from the presidential debates. Late last month, Ralph Nader participated in a forum in New York City called “Progressives and the 1996 elections.”
