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

Ex-Radical Sara Jane Olson Rearrested

HeadlineMar 24, 2008

The former 1970s radical Sara Jane Olson is back behind bars just days after she was released from prison following a seven-year term. Olson was rearrested on Friday after a corrections officials claimed an administrative error resulted in her early release. Olson’s attorney Shawn Chapman Holley criticized the move. He said, “It’s like they make up all new rules when it comes to her. It’s like we are in some kind of fascist state.” Sara Jane Olson, formerly known as Kathleen Soliah, was a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army, the group best known for kidnapping the newspaper heiress Patty Hearst. Olson was arrested in 1999 after living underground for twenty-five years. She is now scheduled to be released next year.
