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.

Nina Pop, Black Trans Woman, Murdered in Missouri

HeadlineMay 11, 2020

In Missouri, a Black transgender woman was found stabbed to death in her home last week in what is believed to be a hate crime. Twenty-eight-year-old Nina Pop is at least the 10th victim of an anti-trans murder this year. Transgender rights groups are renewing calls for Missouri lawmakers to pass legal protections for LGBTQ residents, including the Missouri Nondiscrimination Act, which would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of protected groups in the Missouri Human Rights Act but has failed to pass the state Legislature for over 20 years.
