Worried about democracy in 2024?

So are we.

We’re gearing up for the most consequential presidential election of our lifetime. Candidates are promising to endanger our checks and balances and undermine voting. Politicians and neo-Nazis threaten women’s health and LGBTQ rights.

We expose extremism, regardless of party. But we can’t do it without your help. Raw Story is independent, with no corporate owner, and this allows us to bring you the unvarnished truth.

We need your support in this difficult time. Every reader contribution, no matter the amount, makes a difference. Your vital backing allows our newsroom to bring you the stories that matter.
