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.

U.K. Peace Activists Protest Obama Visit

HeadlineMay 25, 2011

President Obama is in Britain on the second stop of a four-nation European visit. On Tuesday, a crowd of peace activists held a rally outside the gates of Buckingham Palace as Obama visited the royal family.

Protester: “The reality is he is pursuing George Bush’s wars. There’s more troops in Afghanistan now than there was when he got elected. There’s still 50,000 troops in Iraq. There’s attacks on Pakistan. And now, of course, he’s been part of a third attack on a Muslim country in 10 years: the bombing of Libya. And we oppose all of these things, and we believe that the American foreign policy isn’t changing and has to change.”
