Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Georgia: Reality Leigh Winner to Appear in Court Tuesday

HeadlineFeb 27, 2018

In Georgia, U.S. intelligence contractor Reality Leigh Winner is slated to appear in court today in Augusta. She’s pleaded not guilty on charges of leaking a top-secret document claiming Russian military intelligence conducted a cyberattack on at least one U.S. voting software company just days before the November 2016 election. During today’s court hearing, Winner’s lawyers are set to ask the judge to exclude her statements to FBI agents the day she was arrested, arguing she was denied her Miranda rights.
