Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. 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.

Democracy Now!
Amy Goodman

Speech by Charles Kernaghan of the National Labor Committee about working conditions in American-owned factories in Central America, where men, women and children labor long hours for abusive bosses, in unhealthy spaces, for little money, producing consumer goods for the U.S. Kernaghan got national attention a few weeks ago when he testified at a Congressional hearing that a clothing line bearing the name of Kathie Lee Gifford, of Regis and Kathie Lee, was being produced under near-slave labor conditions in Honduras.
