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.

-Amy Goodman

Spelman College Becomes Latest School to Cut Ties with Cosby

HeadlineJul 27, 2015

And Spelman College, a historically black women’s college in Atlanta, Georgia, has discontinued a professorship endowed by Bill Cosby, becoming the latest in a series of universities to cut ties after at least 40 women accused Cosby of sexual assault. Spelman’s move came about a week after the release of a 2005 deposition in which Cosby admits to drugging women. Meanwhile, New York magazine published a cover story on Sunday featuring the faces and words of 35 of Cosby’s alleged victims. And the California Supreme Court has cleared the way for a civil lawsuit against Cosby filed by Judith Huth, who accuses Cosby of sexually assaulting her when she was 15 years old.
