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.

Mubarak in Stable Condition After Health Crisis

HeadlineJun 12, 2012

Ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is reportedly in stable condition after reports of a severe health crisis sparked rumors the imprisoned former leader had already died. Mubarak was said to be slipping in and out of consciousness and experiencing severe depression, and there were reports doctors at the prison hospital had used a defibrillator twice to resuscitate him on Monday. The 84-year-old Mubarak was sentenced to life in prison earlier this month for his role in the killings of peaceful protesters during the uprising that ended his rule last year. His health problems come just days before a runoff presidential election between his former prime minister, Ahmed Shafik, and the Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate, Mohamed Morsi.
