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.

Trump Heading to Poland, Then Germany for G20

HeadlineJul 05, 2017

President Trump is heading to Poland today, where he’s slated to meet with Poland’s President Andrzej Duda before giving a speech in Warsaw Square. Poland has one of the farthest-right governments in Europe and is currently defying European Union rules by refusing to allow refugees into Poland. Trump will then head to the G20 summit, where he’ll have an official meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday afternoon. It’s Trump’s first meeting with Putin as president and comes as Trump faces multiple investigations over his ties to Russia. Thousands of protesters are expected to disrupt the G20 summit. On Sunday, German police attacked protesters with water cannons as thousands demonstrated against the summit and Trump. On July 14, Trump will visit France for Bastille Day and meet with French President Emmanuel Macron.
