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!

Former Staffer Accuses Trump’s Campaign of Sex Discrimination

HeadlineFeb 01, 2016

In more news from the campaign trail, a former paid staffer has accused Donald Trump’s campaign of sex discrimination. Twenty-six-year-old Elizabeth Mae Davidson has filed a complaint alleging Trump’s campaign paid male organizers more than female organizers doing the same jobs. Davidson worked for Trump’s campaign as a district representative in Davenport, Iowa. She says she was paid $2,000 a month, while her male counterparts were paid as much as $4,000 a month. The complaint also alleges that Trump told her and another young female volunteer at a rally in 2015, “You guys could do a lot of damage”—a reference to her looks. Trump denied making this remark by telling The New York Times: “That is not the worst thing that could be said. But I never said it.”
