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!

Early Friday morning, the Senate voted 67-23 to back the Iraq war resolution. One of those who spoke up for the resolution, to some people’s surprise, was Hillary Rodham Clinton, despite the overwhelming number of calls from her constituents against war.

Protests continued against Clinton on Thursday when student protesters staged a sit-in at her New York office.

Today Democracy Now! breaks the sound barrier by interspersing the voices of these protesters with those of Clinton.

Tape:

  • Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY)
  • Jane Hirschmann, author and educational activist.
  • Laura Flanders, journalist.
