Hi there,

From our first broadcast nearly 30 years ago, Democracy Now! has always been fiercely independent. Over these last 3 decades, our daily global news hour has been a source of truth in a media landscape all too often bought by commercial interests. Can you start a monthly donation? Monthly donations are the lifeblood of Democracy Now!.Thanks to a group of generous donors, all monthly donations started today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. 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!
