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.

France has declared a state of emergency after at least 120 people were killed in a series of coordinated attacks across Paris. France24 described the attacks as the deadliest violence to strike France since World War II. Most of the deaths occurred when gunmen attacked a rock concert at the Bataclan music hall killing over 100 people. Five other attacks took place including an apparent double suicide bombing outside the national stadium.

“A state of emergency will be declared,” said French President Francois Hollande in a brief statement on national television. “The second measure will be the closure of national borders.”
