Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Thousands Rally in Cities Across U.S. Against Trump Deportation Plans

HeadlineJan 17, 2017

Meanwhile, thousands of protesters rallied in 50 U.S. cities on Saturday, calling for mass resistance to Donald Trump’s plan to detain and deport millions of undocumented immigrants. In Chicago, more than 1,000 rallied at a union hall under the banner, “We Are Here to Stay,” calling on local officials to give sanctuary to the undocumented. In Washington, D.C., thousands of immigrants and supporters packed Metropolitan AME Church in support of President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, which has so far shielded 750,000 young people from deportation. Trump has promised to rapidly deport up to 3 million undocumented immigrants.
