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!

Terry Mara Carter of Delaware signed an affidavit, that as a stenographer in 1982 she overheard Judge Albert Sabo saying he was “Going to help him fry” Abu Jamal. She also alleged the judge used a racial slur to describe Abu Jamal. Abu Mumia Jamal is a celebrated radio journalist, writer and former Black Panther sentenced to death for the December 11th shooting death of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner.
