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!

At the beginning of every month Democracy Now! airs “All Things Censored,” commentaries written by journalist and death row resident Mumia Abu-Jamal, and produced by Noelle Hanrahan. Recordings of Mumia’s voice have been banned by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections and so each month we bring to you notable people recording his new essays.

Ramona Africa is the Minister of Communication for the MOVE organization. She is the sole adult survivor of the bombing of the MOVE house on May 13th, 1985 that killed 11 people, including 5 children. She served eight years on charges of resisting arrest stemming from that state sponsored massacre. Today she leads the fight for the freedom of the MOVE 9 incarcerated in Pennsylvania prisons.
