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.

Egyptians Mark Week Since Mubarak’s Ouster

HeadlineFeb 18, 2011

A massive crowd of Egyptians has returned to Tahrir Square in Cairo one week since the ouster of U.S.-backed dictator Hosni Mubarak. Organizers had called for a “Friday of Victory and Continuation” to celebrate Mubarak’s departure and maintain the struggle for democratic reform. The latest figures from the Egyptian health ministry show at least 365 people were killed and more than 5,500 injured in the Mubarak regime crackdown.
