Shows featuring Dr. Rubin "Hurricane" Carter

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. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.

Hi there,

Dr. Rubin "Hurricane" Carter

Executive director of the “International Association in Defense of the Wrongly Convicted”. In the 60s Carter was a dynamic prizefighter. His promising boxing career was cut short when, just before he was set to fight for the world heavyweight title, he was wrongfully convicted of killing three people and sentenced to three consecutive life sentences. He spent almost two decades in prison before finally being exonerated.
