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

Ray Rice Wins Reinstatement to NFL After Challenging Indefinite Suspension

HeadlineDec 01, 2014

Former Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice has won an appeal of his indefinite suspension from the National Football League. Rice was barred in September following the emergence of a video showing him punching his then-fiancée, now wife, in a casino elevator. The NFL has repeatedly said it did not see the video until it was released publicly and that Rice had misled league executives when he was initially suspended for just two games. But U.S. District Judge Barbara Jones ruled that Rice did not lie or mislead the league. The decision has raised new questions about NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s handling of the case. Rice is now free to sign with any team.
