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. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

“Trump Death Clock” Heads to Tulsa for Trump Speech

HeadlineJun 19, 2020

Oklahoma reported a record number of new COVID cases on Thursday for the fifth consecutive day. President Trump is traveling to Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday for his first large indoor rally in months. Trump has refused to cancel the event despite warnings from public health officials who fear the rally could turn into a “superspreader event.” Attendees will be asked to sign coronavirus liability waivers to prevent future lawsuits against the campaign.

Trump is also expected to be greeted by protesters in Tulsa. The filmmaker Eugene Jarecki has announced he is bringing the Trump Death Clock to Tulsa. The clock tallies the number of American lives lost due to government inaction during the pandemic. The toll is now over 71,000.
