Democracy Now! (Thursday, September 4, 2025) Jeffrey Epstein survivors rallied in front of Congress on Wednesday, detailing their experiences of abuse and calling for the release of all Epstein files. “We cannot heal without justice,” says one Epstein survivor, Chauntae Davies. “We cannot protect the future if we refuse to confront the past.” Survivors also announced that some victims would work to confidentially compile their own list of individuals implicated in Epstein’s crimes. This comes as lawmakers seek to force a House floor vote compelling the Justice Department to release all the files from the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Lauren Hersh, the national director of the anti-trafficking organization World Without Exploitation, is a former sex-trafficking prosecutor in New York who joined survivors for their press conference just steps from the Capitol on Wednesday. “Courage is contagious,” says Hersh, adding that “we were approached by several other Epstein survivors who we didn’t even know.”

Community radio stands united.

In the months following the failure of the federal levee system in New Orleans in 2005, a group of 31 community radio stations from around the world lent a much-needed hand as WWOZ struggled to stay on the air.

WWOZ salutes this group of stations — now affectionately called the "Katrina Network" — for embodying the true spirit of community radio, as well as the notion of Guarding the Groove. The Katrina Network was commemorated on the back of the WWOZ Live Broadcast Truck for many years (pictured) as a testament to the power of community radio stations working together.

In November 2012, in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the Katrina Network also helped WFMU, a community radio station in Jersey City, NJ.
