Hi there,

Immigration raids are spreading across the country. The agencies meant to protect public health are being dismantled from within. Public broadcasting is being defunded... Today, Democracy Now!'s independent reporting is more important than ever. Because we never accept corporate or government funding, we rely on viewers, listeners and readers like you to sustain our work. Can you start a monthly donation? Monthly donors represent more than 20 percent of our annual revenue. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Victoria Gray Adams

Co-founder with Fannie Lou Hamer of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party in the 1960s. The party was formed in the belief that the Democratic Party in Mississippi didn’t welcome Black participation. Gray Adams’s activist past includes her status as the first woman to run for the U.S. Senate when, as the MFDP candidate, she unsuccessfully contested the seat of John Stennis. She was a member of the board of the Rev. Martin Luther King’s Southern Christian Leadership Conference and a national MFDP delegate to the Democratic Party’s national convention in 1964.
