Hi there,

This month, Democracy Now! marks 29 years of fearless independent journalism. Presidents have come, gone and come back again, but Democracy Now! remains, playing the same critical role in our democracy: shining a spotlight on corporate and government abuses of power and raising up the voices of scholars, advocates, scientists, activists, artists and ordinary people working for a more peaceful and just world. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today in honor of our 29th anniversary. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

Earlier this month, President Clinton hosted a roundtable on Corporate Responsibility with business and a few labor leaders, academics and the press. But what was accomplished more than a little nice chat about good corporate citizenship, worker retraining and family friendly workplaces? The summit didn’t challenge the nature of corporate greed nor the vast environmental and labor abuses that persist in U.S. workplaces.
