Hi there,

As the future of democracy in the United States hangs in the balance, the need for courageous independent media is more important than ever. Our reporting centers the voices of people routinely excluded from corporate and government-run media, such as those raising deep questions about war and peace, demanding an end to our global reliance on fossil fuels. Because we are audience-supported, we need your help today. Can you donate $15 to Democracy Now! today to support independent media? From now until Giving Tuesday, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $15 donation is worth $45. Please help us air in-depth, substantive coverage of the outcome of the election and what it means for our collective future. Thank you so much! Every dollar makes a difference.

Muwekma Ohlone Demand Apology After Assault and Arrests at D.C. Protest to Demand Recognition

HeadlineOct 22, 2024

The Muwekma Ohlone Tribe is demanding an apology from Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and the National Park Service Police after members of the tribe were assaulted, arrested and violently removed from the National Mall by federal police forces last week. A contingent of the tribe had just completed a 70-day journey on horseback from the Bay Area to Washington, D.C. — coinciding with Indigenous Peoples’ Day. The Muwekma Ohlone Tribe says it will use Freedom of Information Act requests to investigate why it was attacked, as the group continues its campaign to restore federal recognition.
