Hi there,

Immigration raids are spreading across the country. The agencies meant to protect public health are being dismantled from within. Public broadcasting is being defunded... Today, Democracy Now!'s independent reporting is more important than ever. Because we never accept corporate or government funding, we rely on viewers, listeners and readers like you to sustain our work. Can you start a monthly donation? Monthly donors represent more than 20 percent of our annual revenue. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

Archer Daniels Midland

Archer Daniels Midland is the largest agribusiness company in the Western World. It’s also one of the biggest contributors to political campaigns — to both Republican and Democratic candidates. ADM has been very savvy in spreading its political influence. ADM Chief Dwayne Andreas is a longtime friend of Bob Dole, and just last week the Washington Post reported that Andreas has donated millions of dollars to the Red Cross since Elizabeth Dole has been its leader. ADM is a also corporation that’s under criminal investigation by the Justice Department for international price fixing. There hasn’t been a tremendous amount of coverage or discussion of ADM on public broadcasting, perhaps because ADM has spent several hundred thousand dollars a year underwriting public radio news programs and millions of dollars underwriting or advertising on television news and public affairs shows.
