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!

Boeing to Resume Campaign Contributions to Republicans in “Sedition Caucus”

HeadlineJun 15, 2021

A Chicago police officer who joined the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol has been arrested, becoming the 465th person charged in connection with the insurrection. Officer Karol Chwiesiuk wore a Chicago Police Department sweatshirt as he texted selfies of himself breaching the offices of Senator Jeff Merkley.

Meanwhile, weapons maker Boeing has resumed major campaign contributions to three Republican congressmembers who voted to overturn the official certification of 2020’s Electoral College votes: Representatives Jack Bergman, Vicky Hartzler and Steve Scalise. Boeing briefly stopped campaign contributions in the wake of the January 6 insurrection.
