Give today for our 25th anniversary & TRIPLE your impact!

Dear Friend,

This week, Democracy Now! turns 25. That's right—our daily, independent news hour has been on air for a quarter of a century.

From the Indigenous-led struggle against the fossil fuel industry to essential workers striking for fair pay and benefits—and winning—to the Movement for Black Lives calling for racial justice, Democracy Now! brings you the stories and voices routinely ignored by the corporate media.

How do we keep going, year after year, without taking government funds or corporate advertising money? Because of you and your generous support.

Right now, in honor of our 25th anniversary, a generous donor will TRIPLE your gift to Democracy Now!, making your tax-deductible donation THREE TIMES as valuable.

DONATE TODAY & TRIPLE YOUR IMPACT!

Your donation today—before midnight tonight—will be triple matched through this special anniversary offer. But don't delay!

Many people are facing financial hardship right now. If that's true for you, please keep tuning in. Democracy Now! is a free service for everyone. But if you're able to make a donation, please do so today.

Throughout our 25-year history, Democracy Now! has connected the dots between movements, showing how they build on each other, here at home and around the world.

We recently interviewed Reverend William Barber, co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign—a revival of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s movement—about the challenges ahead for the new Biden administration, from the pandemic to poverty to growing inequality.

"It cannot be just kumbaya. It has to be fundamental change. We cannot be the wealthiest nation in the world, where billionaires in this country made a trillion dollars between May and November during COVID, while poor and low-wealth people of every race, creed, color, sexuality have suffered and continue to suffer," he said.

If you believe it's important to hear the voices of the movements changing America and the world, make your gift to support Democracy Now! today.

DONATE TODAY & TRIPLE YOUR IMPACT!

For 25 years, Democracy Now! has been breaking the sound barrier and going to where the silence is.

Yesterday, we spoke with former NYC Health Commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett, now the director of Harvard University's Center for Health and Human Rights. She co-authored a new report in The Lancet contending that nearly 40% of deaths from COVID-19 were attributable to the Trump administration's "inept" response to the pandemic—which has particularly devastated communities of color—as well as decades of destructive public policy decisions. The report also advocates for single-payer healthcare.

"This movement for healthcare for all ... is something that should be embraced by the broader social movements. I see it as a really promising time. We’ve paid much too high a price not to try and ... have a better society which guarantees more access to all the things that we need for a healthy life," said Dr. Bassett.

Please help us continue covering critical issues by making your donation today.

DONATE TODAY & TRIPLE YOUR IMPACT!

Democracy Now! has always refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence. Nothing is more important to us than telling you the truth.

But that means we rely on you, our audience, for support. Please make your donation today!

With your support, Democracy Now! is training the next generation of independent journalists through our internship and fellowship programs. Our education program—which has gone virtual because of the pandemic—teaches hundreds of students about fearless, truth-seeking journalism in this time of disinformation and lies.

All of this is only possible with your financial support.

You can click here to donate right now, or call us at 1-888-999-3877 (toll free in U.S.) or +1-212-431-9090 (dial 2).
