Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about the climate catastrophe, economic and racial justice and war and peace, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. That's why we have to take the media back—especially now. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

And the longtime civil rights activist Ozell Sutton has died at the age of 90. In 1957, Sutton helped enroll nine African-American students at Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas. He marched alongside Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma, Alabama, in 1965 and was at the Memphis hotel when Dr. King was assassinated in 1968. Sutton also worked as a journalist for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. He died Saturday in Atlanta, a week after celebrating his 90th birthday.
