On June 25th CovertAction Magazine is hosting a fundraising event featuring outstanding speakers including Abby Martin, John Kiriakou, Christian Parenti, Gloria La Riva, Aaron Maté and Ray McGovern. The event will be held on a rooftop in New York City and broadcast live worldwide via Facebook and Youtube. You will also be able to watch the event here on this page.
Forty-four years ago, ex-CIA whistleblower Philip Agee, co-founded CovertAction Information Bulletin, later renamed CovertAction Quarterly. Over the past five years a group of dedicated folks have re-built the magazine, placing it online and soliciting articles from a new generation of authors who are fully dedicated to extending Phil’s legacy. Now more than ever we need hard-hitting, reliable, accurate and independent journalism to help expose government lies, cover-ups and crimes—and that’s what we do at CovertAction Magazine.
We are currently publishing half-a-dozen original articles every week with over a million visitors coming to our site every year. We have also launched CovertAction Bulletin, a weekly podcast on Patreon, aired on WBAI at 99.5 in NYC (Weds at 9am), and syndicated throughout the Pacifica Radio network.
Not everyone agrees with everything we publish, but I know you would agree that getting to the truth often requires exposure to conflicting, even disturbing and controversial points of view.
Our ability to continue to publish articles such as the ones highlighted below are dependent on maintaining and growing our organizational infrastructure.
