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.

Thousands March in Philadelphia Against Trump & Repeal of Obamacare

HeadlineJan 27, 2017

More than 5,000 people took to the streets of Philadelphia Thursday to protest Trump’s visit to the city and to denounce Republican policies, including the efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Trump’s first executive order, signed only hours after his inauguration, made the “prompt repeal” of Obamacare the administration’s top priority. The administration has pulled ads for the 2017 enrollment season of Obamacare off the air—including the ads that were already paid for. The deadline to sign up for new plans is January 31.
