In all of the years I've been watching Democracy Now, I've seen the usual requests for financial support come and go, so I was quite surprised when I was stopped from watching the daily news program without having to press the "donate" button first.
This can only mean that their financial status must be critical, as Amy Goodman would not do this unless they are in serious need of some immediate income.
Democracy Now is one of the few truly progressive News organizations, and Amy Goodman and her wonderful staff have long been my heroes. Her calm demeanor covering the most outrageous world situations always makes me wonder how she can go on without burning out.
Let's not take Democracy Now for granted to the extent that they may have to close down. Let's all show how much we appreciate her, her staff, and the often dangerous work they all do.
Here is a picture of their team and a link to the donation page:

I won't be here to respond much, as I'm working on a deadline project (but I'll try to check in every now and then), but please, everyone, chip in and show them some love.
Thanks so much.
