Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Our generous TRIPLE match has been extended, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $30 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Jewish Activists Descend on Atlas Air to Shine Light on Its Role in Gaza Genocide

HeadlineAug 02, 2024

Dozens of Jewish activists and allies staged a mock press conference and protest Wednesday at the White Plains headquarters of Atlas Air to call out the company’s role in fueling the war on Gaza. Activists posed as Atlas executives and handed out flyers designed to look like marketing materials but that read “Atlas Air: we fly for genocide.” This is Jake Levin from Jews for Racial and Economic Justice.

Jake Levin: “The U.S. government sends so much support to the Israeli military that it contracts with private companies to send these — it doesn’t have enough planes to send the amount of bombs that they are trying to send and planes and tanks that they are trying to send to Israel. It’s not right. It’s disgusting, is what it is.”

Atlas Air is the world’s third largest cargo company, has hundreds of millions of dollars in federal contracts and received $18 million in New York state tax breaks and subsidies.
