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.

HeadlineMay 07, 2010

And in Ohio, police have raided the home of a Toledo man who had been waging a public fight to save his home from foreclosure. Keith Sadler had been barricaded inside his own home since Sunday. Early this morning, police dressed in riot gear entered the home to remove Sadler and members of the Toledo Foreclosure Defense League. Sadler is a fifty-three-year-old former auto worker who had lived in the house for twenty years. Video of the raid was broadcast live on the internet.
