Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Pride Celebrations Overshadowed by SCOTUS Ruling Ending Abortion Rights

HeadlineJun 27, 2022

LGBTQ+ groups took to the streets over the weekend for Pride events that were overshadowed by the Supreme Court’s ruling striking down abortion rights under Roe v. Wade. Here in New York, Pride protesters warned the Supreme Court appears poised to roll back other hard-fought gains, including the rights to marriage, contraception and non-heterosexual sexual intimacy.

Jolene Marchetti: “With the conservative majority in the judicial system, you know, you do say, 'Is gay marriage next?' That’s very — is it next? Is trans right next? Like, at what point — like, I’m trans. When am I no longer going to be able to exist in this country as a fully realized person? Or am I going to have to hide back in the closet?”
