r33 Democracy Now! staff Season's Greetings from Democracy Now!

Dear Friend,

You need a news media that's at its best when the news is at its worst.

There's no question that 2014 has been a year of hard news stories: police brutality against unarmed civilians at home and endless wars terrorizing civilians abroad; the Ebola epidemic; global warring and global warming. And then there are the grassroots movements that are coalescing around the nation and around the world to take these issues on.


With so much happening, you count on Democracy Now! to bring you the truth about global news events as well as stories of resistance and hope. Right now, a generous Democracy Now! supporter will match every donation we receive, making your gift twice as valuable to Democracy Now! today. If you've been waiting to donate to Democracy Now!, today is your day. #GivingTuesday is a day for people across the globe to find a way to give back.

If you give $15, Democracy Now! gets $30. And if you can stretch to $50, Democracy Now! will receive $100 to support our daily global independent news program! DONATE TODAY! From Ferguson, Missouri, Democracy Now! heads to Lima, Peru, where we'll broadcast live all of next week from the UN Climate Summit. For the last five years, we have been the only daily global news program to devote a full week of coverage to this critical summit. In September, more than 400,000 activists made history as they joined the People’s Climate March in New York City. Democracy Now! was the only global network to bring you a live three-hour TV/radio/web broadcast of this event. Democracy Now! live coverage from Ferguson Democracy Now! was on the ground at the People's Climate March in New York City this September as more than 400,000 people took to the streets to demand immediate action to slow climate change. Click here to support Democracy Now! today and we'll keep bringing you live coverage from the frontlines of breaking news events. DONATE TODAY! On Democracy Now!, you get in-depth reporting on whistleblowers like Edward Snowden and hear directly from journalists like Laura Poitras, Glenn Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill and James Risen — people willing to risk everything to preserve the freedom of information that defines our democracy. The Obama administration has prosecuted more journalists and whistleblowers than all past administrations combined.

The government is waging war against a free press. We need your support today to defend it. New York Times reporter James Risen
"Without aggressive investigative reporting, we can’t really have a democracy." says New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist James Risen on Democracy Now! He faces years in prison for refusing to reveal a source. Coverage like this is only possible with your support.
