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!

Hurricane Matthew Could Wreak “Catastrophic” Damage in Haiti

HeadlineOct 04, 2016

The massive Category 4 Hurricane Matthew is currently bearing down on Haiti, expected to make landfall today. Meteorologists are warning the impact could be catastrophic. The hurricane has already killed three people, including a Haitian fisherman. The storm packs 145-mile-an-hour winds. It’s expected to hit Haiti, then Cuba, and then continue barreling toward the U.S. coast, where Florida Governor Rick Scott and North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory have already declared states of emergency in anticipation. In Cuba, the U.S. military says it’s airlifting 700 employees, and some family pets, from the naval base at Guantánamo Bay, although there are still no plans to evacuate the 61 prisoners held there.
