Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

Two Prisoners Found Dead at New York’s Sing Sing as Prison Guards Continue Wildcat Strike

HeadlineFeb 28, 2025

Here in New York, two men were pronounced dead just hours apart Wednesday at a maximum-security prison in Westchester County as a wildcat strike by guards across dozens of prisons in the state continues for a second week. Anthony Douglas, who was 67, and 35-year-old Franklyn Dominguez, were both found unresponsive in their cells inside the Sing Sing Correctional Facility.

Their death comes days after 61-year-old Jonathan Grant was also found dead at another prison, where guards have walked off the job. Click here to see our recent interview on the strike with Jose Saldaña, director of Release Aging People in Prison.
