Hi there,

For three decades, people have counted on Democracy Now! to go to where the silence is and cover the people and movements closest to the most important stories of the day. All donations made today will be TRIPLED thanks to a group of generous donors, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. Please donate today to support our independent journalism. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!
