In These Times is at a crossroads and we urgently need your support. Will you help us raise $50,000 by the end of the week?
More on the Taser Front: RawStory recently posted footage from a Nov. 26 recap of Taser-related deaths/interview with Amnesty International Executive Director Larry Cox. Cox repeatedly condemns the use of Tasers as a form of torture. As regular readers already know, this is an issue we've been covering since Nov. 2006, kicking off with Silja J.A. Talvi's Stunning Revelations.
The clip provides a surprisingly thorough summary of the issue, but be warned: it's not for the faint of heart.
In These Times is only able to publish the fierce, deeply-reported articles we do because of readers like you who contribute a few dollars each month to keep us independent.
If you donate just $5/month or more right now, you'll get a free annual subscription and your support will be felt throughout the newsroom.
Will you support us now? Our goal is to raise $50,000 by the end of the week.
