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. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

Today’s final dash in the presidential race has the Democratic and Republican contenders campaigning in battleground states where the race is too close to call. While Vice President Al Gore will be in Iowa, Missouri, Michigan and Florida before returning to cast his vote in Tennessee, Texas Governor George W. Bush is concentrating on Tennessee and Arkansas.

Meanwhile, Green Party candidate Ralph Nader is speaking today in Harlem before the Reverend Al Sharpton’s National Action Network. Yesterday, more than 12,000 of Nader’s supporters gathered in Washington, DC, and heard from actor Danny Glover and Randall Robinson, head of Trans-Africa.

Tape:

  • Danny Glover, actor and activist.
  • Randall Robinson, head of Trans-Africa.
