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!

The CIA’s Inspector General has launched an investigation into allegations that when Bill Clinton was Governor of Arkansas, the CIA used an isolated airstrip in Mena, Arkansas to ship arms illegally to the Nicaraguan Contras and deliver large shipments of cocaine to the U.S. The White House says the Mena story is manufactured by a right wing conspiracy industry, but the CIA is investigating the charges and is expected to deliver a report in late summer or early fall.
