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!

Rescue workers in Colombia continue today to search for survivors and victims of the powerful earthquake that struck on Monday. An estimated 2,000 people are still buried–dead or alive–under collapsed buildings. Over 40% of Armenia has been completely destroyed in the most powerful earthquake here in more than a century. Delays on the delivery of food and other assistance have troubled survivors, many of whom have had little or nothing to eat since Monday.

Guest:

  • Astrid Villegas, Emergency Coordinator for Doctors Without Borders, who is at the site of the earthquake and has been organizing relief efforts there for the past few days. Most needed are drinking water, food and medicines.
