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.

Planned Parenthood Activists Rally at DNC

HeadlineSep 05, 2012

On Tuesday, activists rallied in support of Planned Parenthood to denounce the Republican-led attack on reproductive rights.

Rae Abileah: “We really feel like our bodies are under attack. And so, we are wearing these vagina costumes to say that we’re proud of our vaginas, and if GOP legislators can’t say the word ’vagina,” they shouldn’t be trying to legislate it.”

Suzanne Berger: “I’m here to make sure Barack Obama gets re-elected, and I’m specifically here because I’m appalled that rights we fought for as women are in danger, and we have to remind people that these are our bodies and we need to take control of them and make sure that the Republican Party doesn’t get elected and take control of us.”
