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!

Amnesty Accuses Russia of Killing Hundreds of Civilians in Kharkiv

HeadlineJun 13, 2022

Heavy fighting is continuing in the eastern Ukrainian city of Severodonetsk as Russia moves closer to seizing all of the Luhansk region. Just one bridge remains connecting Severodonetsk to other areas still under Ukrainian control. This comes as Amnesty International has accused Russia of using indiscriminate shelling and cluster munitions to kill hundreds of civilians in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. As Ukraine continues to press Western nations for more advanced weapons, Russia is claiming it struck a large arms depot Sunday in western Ukraine where Ukraine was storing weapons sent by the United States and allies. Twenty-two people were reportedly injured in the strike.
