Hi there,

Please don’t turn away from this message. Democracy Now! is a free source of independent news for tens of millions of people around the world, but less than 1% of our global audience donates to support our critical journalism. Let’s pick up the percentage! Today, a generous contributor will DOUBLE your donation to Democracy Now!, which means if you give $10, we’ll get $20. Please don’t miss out on this opportunity to double your impact. Democracy Now! doesn't accept advertising income, corporate underwriting or government funding because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence. We rely on you for support—and we’re counting on you right now. I hope you’ll give as much as you can today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thanks so much.

Democracy Now! Joins “Covering Climate Now” Global Reporting Initiative

DN! in the NewsSeptember 16, 2019

Over 250 news outlets from across the globe — including Democracy Now! — have pledged to focus on the climate crisis in the lead-up to the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York on Sept. 23. The Columbia Journalism Review and The Nation have organized the Covering Climate Now initiative.

On Monday Democracy Now! interviewed The Nation’s Mark Hertsgaard, who has helped organize the effort. “The media is the key to political consciousness,” Hertsgaard says. “And if you don’t have media coverage of the climate crisis, you will never have the public awareness and the public pressure that, frankly, is needed to get government and corporations to do what is required to face up to this climate crisis.”

On Tuesday Democracy Now! interviewed Naomi Klein about her new book “On Fire: The Burning Case for a Green New Deal.”

Stay tuned for more in-depth coverage in the coming days, and click here to see all of our climate coverage.
