Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about war and peace, democracy, the climate catastrophe, and economic and racial justice, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. 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!

HeadlineFeb 05, 2004

The New York City Council approved a resolution Wednesday condemning the USA Patriot Act. The three largest cities in the country, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, have now all condemned the law that was quickly passed after the Sept. 11 attacks. According to the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, a total of three states and 246 municipalities and counties have passed similar resolutions. Glenn Devitt, an organizer with the Committee said “So much is being done in the name of New York, we are saying don’t use our name to infringe on people’s rights.”
