Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Activists Protest Clinton Fundraiser at Home of Billionaire Haim Saban

HeadlineAug 23, 2016

Meanwhile, on Monday night, Hillary Clinton faced protests by Palestinian rights activists outside a fundraising event at the Beverly Hills estate of billionaire Haim Saban. Saban has contributed millions to one of Clinton’s super PACs. Many of the donations came after Clinton herself wrote a letter to Saban expressing her “alarm” over the growing Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. BDS is an international campaign to pressure Israel to comply with international law and respect Palestinian rights. In the July 2, 2015, letter, Clinton wrote, “I know you agree we need to make countering BDS a priority. I am seeking your advice on how we can work together.”
