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!

The majority of the attack’s victims were street vendors and day laborers who had gathered in the market looking for work. No group has claimed responsibility so far. Monday’s bombing was the first major attack in Baghdad since the Iraqi government declared victory over ISIS.
