Happy News Year!
As 2019 draws to a close, I want to thank you for helping to make our daily independent global news hour possible.

I really do believe that those who are concerned about war and peace—those who care about the growing inequality between rich and poor, those who are fighting to stop climate catastrophe—are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media.

And that's why we have to take the media back.

Today is your last chance to donate to Democracy Now! in 2019. If you've already made your contribution this year, thank you so much. But if you haven't had a chance to donate yet, now is your time ([link removed]) .

If you give today, a generous donor will TRIPLE your donation. Take action before it's too late—donate now!

As we move into 2020—a critical year not only for the United States, but for our place in the world—Democracy Now! will continue to bring you stories from the front lines of the movements that are defining this moment in history.

This past year, as the news cycle moved at breakneck speed, Democracy Now! took you from the Global Climate Strike—where nearly 4 million people around the world took to the streets to demand action on the climate crisis—to the impeachment of President Trump.
Perhaps you turned to Democracy Now! for our full week of reporting from the U.N. climate summit in Madrid, Spain, where we spoke to climate activists, indigenous leaders, scientists and policy makers about the urgent issue of climate change.

We also aired the speech 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg made at the summit, just a few hours before being named Time magazine’s Person of the Year—the youngest person to ever receive this award.

Greta talked about entering the new decade, saying, "Right now we are desperate for any sign of hope. Well, I’m telling you there is hope. I have seen it. But it does not come from the governments or corporations. It comes from the people ... In fact, every great change throughout history has come from the people. We do not have to wait. We can start the change right now."

And maybe you appreciated Democracy Now! taking time to remember those we lost this year, including Toni Morrison, one of the nation’s most influential writers, who died in August at the age of 88. Toni Morrison was the first African-American woman to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Last week, Democracy Now! broadcast highlights from a celebration of Morrison's life at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. We heard from Oprah Winfrey, Angela Davis, writers Edwidge Danticat, Fran Lebowitz and Ta-Nehisi Coates, and New Yorker magazine editor David Remnick, among others.

Oprah Winfrey eulogized Morrison, saying, "Toni Morrison was her words. She is her words, for her words often were confrontational. She spoke the unspoken. She probed the unexplored. She wrote of eliminating the white gaze, of not wanting to speak for black people but wanting to speak to them, to be among them, to be among all people."

Maybe you joined us for our on-the-ground reporting from the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, where we looked at the increasing militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border and its toll on human life.

Democracy Now! followed humanitarian activist Scott Warren into the desert with other No More Deaths volunteers who were leaving water, food and medical supplies for migrants making the treacherous journey north.

Warren was recently acquitted of two felony charges of harboring migrants, after he provided food, water and shelter to a pair of men who survived their trek across the desert.
