Hi there,

We need a media that covers power, not covers for power. Democracy Now!’s independent journalism has done exactly that for 30 years. Please donate today, so we can ensure that our daily news and extensive archive remain freely accessible for everyone. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!
