Hi there,

Please don’t turn away from this message. Democracy Now! is a free source of independent news for tens of millions of people around the world, but less than 1% of our global audience donates to support our critical journalism. Let’s pick up the percentage! Today, a generous contributor will DOUBLE your donation to Democracy Now!, which means if you give $10, we’ll get $20. Please don’t miss out on this opportunity to double your impact. Democracy Now! doesn't accept advertising income, corporate underwriting or government funding because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence. We rely on you for support—and we’re counting on you right now. I hope you’ll give as much as you can today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thanks so much.
-Amy Goodman

DN! Keeps Kids Students Awake in Class!

    ¨I teach government at high school. I have been using DN for about a year. One of my favorite in DN is ACLU files. I have found that teaching Judicial Branch, interests groups, civil libertiies/rights and the legislative process can be simple by just using one documentary. I teach the whole unit just analyzing one documentary. The story of drug testing of a girl and how it proceeded to Supreme Court creates a lot of excitement in my class. Before I used DN students use to sleep complaining about the boringness of these units.¨
