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!

People around the world are organizing against the Bush administration’s plans to invade Iraq. This weekend, anti-war protests will take place in India, South Korea, Mexico City, Puerto Rico, Italy, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain and Belgium.

Tomorrow, Saturday, October 26th, tens of thousands of people will converge on the east and west coasts — in Washington, DC and San Francisco — for anti-war demonstrations. Pacifica will be covering the rally live from Washington, DC.

From Iraq, we are joined on the phone by Kathy Kelly of Voices in the Wilderness. She is planning to hold an anti-war protest tomorrow on the streets of Baghdad. Sara Flounders, an organizer for the International A.N.S.W.E.R coalition talks about tomorrow’s demonstration in Washington, D.C.

Guests:

  • Kathy Kelly, Voices in the Wilderness.
