Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about the climate catastrophe, economic and racial justice and war and peace, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. That's why we have to take the media back—especially now. But we can't do it without your support. 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. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

California Lobbyist Accuses Lawmaker Matt Dababneh of Sexual Assault

HeadlineDec 05, 2017

And in Sacramento, California, lobbyist Pamela Lopez has named Democratic Assemblymember Matt Dababneh of Los Angeles as the lawmaker who sexually assaulted her, forcing her into a Las Vegas hotel bathroom last year and masturbating in front of her. Dababneh has denied the allegation. This is Pamela Lopez, speaking from her office on Monday.

Pamela Lopez: “This is a moment of collective action. Many women have stepped forward and said, 'Me, too. I've been sexually harassed, or I’ve been sexually assaulted, in my workplace.’ And it’s taken courage for them to do that.”
