Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

FSTV Development Director Jason McKain Dies in Drowning Accident

HeadlineJun 18, 2015

Jason McKain, development director of the national, independent news network Free Speech TV, has died at the age of 42. McKain drowned Sunday while fishing in Colorado’s Boulder Creek, which is swollen and running swiftly due to intense rain and spring runoff. In addition to his work at FSTV, Jason McKain formerly served as co-executive director of the Colorado Progressive Coalition. He is survived by his wife, Hava Gordon, and their six-year-old twins, Oliver and Lael. We mourn Jason with our colleagues at Free Speech TV, which runs Democracy Now! We have known Jason for years.
