Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Meanwhile, family, friends and colleagues of a Peruvian photographer kidnapped in the Gaza Strip this week have launched a new appeal for his safe release. Jaime Razuri was seized by gunmen after he returned from an assignment. He works for Agence France-Presse. Family members and friends held a news conference Wednesday in Peru. In Gaza, Agence France-Presse manager Sakher Abu El-Awn said Razuri’s life could be in danger.

Agence France-Presse manager Sakher Abu El-Awn: “We are worried about his life, about his health. He is sick. He has many health problems, heart problems and stomach problem. We call for urgent release for him.”
