Support ‘Democracy Now!’: donations needed
Amy Goodman and her crew at Democracy Now! (www.democracynow.org) who produce the best alternative news coverage I know of, are seeking donations in cash or kind that will help them acquire needed equipment: video cameras and flat-screen monitors.
There’s an ad about the video cameras on their web site, and Amy mentioned the need for monitors at the very end of her Wednesday broadcast (which I only now have listened to via podcast).
If any of you can help, please email them at mail@democracy.org, or go via the website.
These are great people, doing fabulous and important work. Please support them if you can.
