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

Latino Groups Urge PBS to Make Changes to WWII Film

HeadlineApr 03, 2007

In other media news, a growing number of national Latino organizations are calling on PBS to make changes to an upcoming film by Ken Burns about World War II because it ignores the role played by Latino soldiers in the war. The 14-hour documentary reportedly includes no interviews with any Latino veterans. Over 500,000 Latinos served in World War II.
