Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about the climate catastrophe, economic and racial justice and war and peace, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. That's why we have to take the media back—especially now. But we can't do it without your support. 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. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

    Adults, college students and high schools students aren’t the only ones who are speaking out against war.

    Aldebron read her speech for Pacifica Radio producers Nathan Thompson and Sonali Kolhatkar, who included it as part of an audio documentary, “Children’s Voices on War and Peace.”

    • Charlotte Aldebron, 12-year-old Middle School student at Cunningham Middle School in Presque Isle, Maine.
