Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

CodePink Protests on Wall Street

HeadlineOct 09, 2008

Protests are also continuing on Wall Street. Earlier this week, Dana Balicki and other members of the group Code Pink demonstrated outside the New York Stock Exchange.

Dana Balicki: “Over the past two weeks, in fact, protesting the bailout; protesting the billions more for Wall Street, for the friends of Henry Paulson and the Bush administration; and recognizing that with all of that money going for the bailout, there was going to be way less money to go for any of the social issues that we are — social programs that actually stabilize our society, that actually bring strength to the American economy.”
