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!
Amy Goodman

Today, tens of thousands of spectators will cheer the competitors at Atlanta’s Olympic Stadium. Though, just 40 miles away from Olympic Stadium, more than 100 men sit on Death Row in a Georgia prison.

With the eyes of the world on Atlanta, a city promoting itself as the embodiment of Olympic ideas of human liberty and equality, next week Amnesty International will issue their newest report, entitled: The Death Penalty in Georgia: Racist, Arbitrary and Unfair.
