Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. 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.

Colombia Earthquake

Rescue workers in Colombia continue today to search for survivors and victims of the powerful earthquake that struck on Monday. An estimated 2,000 people are still buried–dead or alive–under collapsed buildings. Over 40% of Armenia has been completely destroyed in the most powerful earthquake here in more than a century. Delays on the delivery of food and other assistance have troubled survivors, many of whom have had little or nothing to eat since Monday.

Guest:

  • Astrid Villegas, Emergency Coordinator for Doctors Without Borders, who is at the site of the earthquake and has been organizing relief efforts there for the past few days. Most needed are drinking water, food and medicines.
