Hi there,

We need independent media more than ever. When we cover war and peace, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers. When we cover the climate catastrophe, we’re not brought to you by the oil, gas and coal companies. When we cover inequality, we’re not brought to you by the banks and other financial institutions. We’re brought to you by you, the listener, the reader and the viewer. If you want Democracy Now! to keep bringing you the stories that matter most, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Mike Pence’s New Neighbors Greet Him with Rainbow-Colored Flags

HeadlineDec 05, 2016

And some residents of the Chevy Chase neighborhood in Washington, D.C., are welcoming their newest neighbor, Vice President-elect Mike Pence, by hanging rainbow-colored flags from their homes. Pence is living in the neighborhood until Inauguration Day.

Allison Fenn: “Given the governor’s stance on gay rights issues, it seemed like a really crucial message to make that everyone needs to be supported rather than feel threatened. And I think we have a fundamental disagreement with his stand on this and just want to not only bring it to his attention, but to make others feel supported who might otherwise feel threatened.”
