Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

This Saturday, perhaps the most powerful and diverse mass gathering of people of this decade took place at the Lincoln memorial in Washington D.C — The Stand for Children March organized by the Children’s Defense Fund. A rainbow of people came together to show their personal commitment to their children and all America’s children, but it was also a rally to demand that politicians and leaders on the national, state and local levels change their priorities and Put Children First.
