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!

Jeb Bush Subpoenaed in Election Inquiry

HeadlineJan 05, 2001

Florida Governor Jeb Bush has been subpoenaed to appear in a federal civil rights inquiry into Florida’s presidential election. The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights will hold hearings next week into whether Floridians’ voting rights were violated in the November 7 election. The inquiry follows complaints made to the Department of Justice by the Reverend Jesse Jackson and others alleging that black voters were denied access to the polls. The NAACP says it’s gathered more than 450 complaints and taken more than 300 pages of sworn testimony from people who say they were blocked from voting. The subpoena directs Bush to produce copies of all documents and communications about the state’s preparations for the November 7 election, and any document created after the election that refers to any alleged irregularities.
