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

Yale Students Launch Hunger Strike; USC Cancels Graduation Speech by Muslim Student

HeadlineApr 16, 2024

Protests continue on U.S. college campuses. A group of Yale graduate students launched a hunger strike Friday to demand Yale divest from companies arming Israel.

Meanwhile, the University of Southern California has come under fire for canceling the commencement speech of valedictorian Asna Tabassum for what the school claimed were “safety” reasons after she became the subject of an online anti-Palestinian hate campaign. Asna Tabassum said, “I am both shocked by this decision and profoundly disappointed that the University is succumbing to a campaign of hate meant to silence my voice.”
