Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Japan: Thousands Evacuate After Tsunami Warning in Fukushima

HeadlineNov 22, 2016

In Japan, thousands were instructed to evacuate from Fukushima Monday, after a 7.4-magnitude earthquake triggered fears of a tsunami hitting the area and the Fukushima nuclear power plant. The tsunami advisory was lifted early this morning, and officials say the power plant was not damaged by the quake. In 2011, a massive earthquake and tsunami hit the same area, killing 20,000 people and causing the world’s worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl.
