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.

60 Bodies Found in Mass Graves in Mexico’s Guanajuato State

HeadlineOct 30, 2020

In Mexico, nearly 60 bodies have been found in clandestine mass graves in the state of Guanajuato. Officials with the National Search Committee say most of the bodies belong to young people, including teens. Violence has skyrocketed in Guanajuato due to wars between drug cartels. Since the Mexican government launched its war on drugs in 2006, about 250,000 people have been killed, nearly 40,000 are still missing, and over 3,000 clandestine graves have been discovered.
