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.

    Top aides to President Clinton — National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, Defense Security William Cohen, and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright — head to Columbus, Ohio this week to rally support for military action. Meanwhile, people all over the country are organizing protests against U.S. military aggression. We’ll talk to three grassroots peace groups in St. Louis, North Carolina, and Wisconsin about what actions they’re taking to make their opposition heard.
