Hi there,

Today is the first of two Public Media Giving Days, a time to celebrate what public and independent media gives to you by giving back. If you think Democracy Now!’s reporting is a critical line of defense against war, climate catastrophe and authoritarianism, please make your donation of $10 or more right now. In honor of Public Media Giving Days, a generous donor will TRIPLE your donation, which means it’ll go 3x as far to support our independent journalism. Democracy Now! is funded by you, and that’s why we’re counting on your donation to keep us going strong. Please give today. Every dollar makes a difference—in fact, gets tripled! Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

    For more than four months, environmentalist activist Julia Butterfly has been perched 180-feet high in a 1,000-year old redwood tree. In northern California, during the record tree- sitting protest, Ms. Butterfly has withstood the heavy rains and blasting winds of El Nino’s winter storms, as well as harassment from the logging company MAXXAM/ Pacific Lumber which has used searchlights and foghorns to disrupt her sleep.
