Right now is no time to come up short.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we urgently need to raise about 400,000 by Thursday, June 30, to finish our fiscal year on track and give it everything we possibly can. Please help us get there with a donation if you can right now.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we still need to raise upwards of 400,000 by June 30 to give it everything we can. Please help:

Completed shortly before her death last spring, June Carter Cash’s parting album is one for the ages. Wildwood Flower offers new recordings of songs from the Carter Family’s rich catalog, performed with the support of family and friends. But this is no dry archival exercise. Cash’s raw, sometimes haggard voice crackles with honest conviction, whether ribbing husband Johnny in the comic “Temptation” or confronting mortality on “Will You Miss Me?” The spare acoustic settings and plainspoken lyrics convey powerful, often messy emotions without straining for effect. And don’t miss the fiery yet delicate title track, complete with her shimmering autoharp — a perfect summation of June Carter Cash’s simple genius.
