Hi there,

As the future of democracy in the United States hangs in the balance, the need for courageous independent media is more important than ever. Our reporting centers the voices of people routinely excluded from corporate and government-run media, such as those raising deep questions about war and peace, demanding an end to our global reliance on fossil fuels. Because we are audience-supported, we need your help today. Can you donate $15 to Democracy Now! today to support independent media? From now until Giving Tuesday, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $15 donation is worth $45. Please help us air in-depth, substantive coverage of the outcome of the election and what it means for our collective future. Thank you so much! Every dollar makes a difference.

-Amy Goodman

Grassroots Campaigns to Fight Climate Change Flourish

HeadlineMar 21, 2007

Grassroots groups across the country are taking up the issue of global warming. In Washington, hundreds of environmentalists rallied in front of the Capitol on Tuesday for the first-ever Climate Crisis Action Day. In Massachusetts, activists are walking across the state this week to raise awareness about global warming. In New Hampshire, over 134 cities and towns have passed resolutions asking the federal government to address climate change and to develop research initiatives to create innovative energy technologies. And planning is underway for the first National Day of Climate Action on April 14. Nine hundred fifty events and rallies are already scheduled. Organizers are predicting April 14 will be the country’s largest grassroots environmental protest since Earth Day 1970.
