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!

Kemba Smith

In 1994 she was sentenced to 24 and a half years in prison under federal mandatory drug sentencing laws. Her case quickly gained nationwide attention. After serving six years, Kemba received clemency from President Clinton in 2000. Smith is now an grassroots organizer, public speaker, and soon-to-be-author. She recently completed her first year of law school at Howard University and founded the Kemba Smith Foundation.
