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.

Millions Participate in Pride Marches Nationwide

HeadlineJun 25, 2018

And millions of people poured into the streets of cities across the United States for annual Pride marches on Sunday. This is Clarice Oliver-Hill, speaking at the Pride March in New York City.

Clarice Oliver-Hill: “As a woman of color growing up in a very, very religious, structured household, it lets me know that I’m OK, that I’m accepted and I’m loved and I’m great for who I am. … I think events like this show us that we’re not afraid, that we’re coming out, we’re loud, we’re here, we’re not going anywhere.”

It’s estimated that 2.5 million people participated in the Pride March in New York City.
