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!

As Obama delays immigration reform action, Aviva Chomsky joined us Friday to discuss how “illegality” and “undocumentedness” are concepts that were created to exclude and exploit. Read an excerpt from her new book, Undocumented: How Immigration Became Illegal.

We also spoke with Pablo Alvarado, director of of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. See more immigration coverage on Democracy Now!
