Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Our generous TRIPLE match has been extended, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $30 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

AOC Lends Her Clout to New York Bill Which Would Sanction Charities Funding Israel

HeadlineMay 21, 2024

A group of New York lawmakers have reintroduced a measure that would ban New York nonprofits from using tax-deductible donations to fund Israeli settlers and Israeli military units in Gaza and the West Bank. The Not On Our Dime! Act would also prohibit organizations from “aiding and abetting” the resettling of Gaza or supporting Israeli military actions that violate international law. The legislation was first introduced last year by New York Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani and state Senator Jabari Brisport. U.S. Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke in favor of the bill at a rally Monday.
