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.

Democracy Now!

Today, Democrats “duke it out” for the honor of taking on Senator Jesse Helms in November. The Democratic rivals are Harvey Gantt, an African American former Mayor of Charlotte who lost to Helms in 1990, and Charles Sanders, a pharmaceutical executive who believes he’s the only one who can beat Helms.
