Hi there,

For nearly 30 years, Democracy Now! has reported on the silenced majority fighting to end war, authoritarianism, environmental destruction, human rights violations, immigration crackdowns, and so much more. Next Tuesday, December 2nd, is Giving NewsDay (independent media’s spin on Giving Tuesday). Thanks to a group of generous donors, donations made today through Giving NewsDay will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. Please donate today, so we can keep bringing you our hard-hitting, independent news. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!
