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!
Amy Goodman

Today is the 37th anniversary of the assassination of Malcolm X, one of the greatest this country saw in the last century. He was shot to death as he spoke before a packed audience in Harlem’s Audubon Ballroom on February 21, 1965. He was just 39 years old. We air videotaped speech that he delivered one week before he was assassinated. It is called “The Last Message.”
