Hi there,

Our team of independent journalists comes together everyday to deliver the news you need, but right now, less than 1% of people who count on Democracy Now! donate to support our work. If just 1% of our global audience made a donation of any amount today, it would cover our costs for an entire year. For the last time this month, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE all new monthly donations started today, which means your monthly gift of $15 is worth $45. Please donate today to ensure we remain your go-to source for the most important stories of the day. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!
