Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. 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 – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Song Premiere: “Time Dreams” by The Pines with John Trudell

Web ExclusiveJanuary 15, 2016

On today’s episode of Democracy Now! we premiered the song “Time Dreams”–a collaboration between the Minneapolis folk band The Pines and the late Native American activist and poet John Trudell who died in December at the age of 69.

John Trudell was the spokesman of the American Indian Movement during the 1969 occupation of Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco Bay, where he set up a radio broadcast called Radio Free Alcatraz. Trudell later served as the head of the American Indian Movement for most of the 1970s. He was also a poet who combined spoken word and music for more than a dozen albums.

“Time Dreams” appears on The Pines’ forthcoming album Above The Prairie (Red House Records).
