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.

Thousands March Against NSA Surveillance in D.C.

HeadlineOct 28, 2013

Thousands of people marched in Washington, D.C., on Saturday in a protest against government surveillance. “Stop Watching Us: Rally Against Mass Surveillance” was organized by a coalition of more than 100 groups, companies and public figures. Organizers say the protest was the largest to date against government surveillance since Edward Snowden’s disclosures became public in June.

Michael Greene: “I’m outraged, like most people here, at the mass surveillance that’s going on, and people just don’t seem to be upset about it. It’s blatantly unconstitutional.”

Jennifer Wynne: “Over the past several months, we the people have learned so much about the abuses going on and the complete lack of oversight and the mass surveillance into every detail of our lives. And we need to tell Congress that they have to act, and we need to demand it.”
