Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Unidentified: “But you wish we were a signatory?”

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: “Well, I think we could have worked out some of the challenges that are raised concerning our membership by our own government, but that has not yet come to pass.”
