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!

Democracy Now!

On April 1st, Democracy Now! kicked off the beginning of the new commentaries written, but not spoken, by journalist and Pennsylvania Death Row inmate Mumia Abu Jamal called “All Things Censored.” In November 1996, the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections banned all journalists from audio recording, videotaping, or photographing any inmate in a state facility. Democracy Now! aired the last permitted recordings of Mumia Abu Jamal in March.

Mumia Anu Jamal was convicted of the 1981 killing of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. He has been on death row for 16 years. He maintains his innocence, and human rights activists around the world have rallied around his case to call for a new trial.

“All Things Censored” is produced by Prison Radio together with Democracy Now! and written by Mumia Abu Jamal. Today’s piece is read by actor Peter Coyote
