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.

Democracy Now! in Charleston

On June 26, 2015, Democracy Now! broadcast from Charleston, South Carolina, in front of the Emanuel AME Church, Mother Emanuel, as funeral services began for nine people who were gunned down on June 17 as they attended Bible study. We were also there when Bree Newsome was arrested at the state Capitol after scaling the 30-foot flagpole and unhooking the Confederate flag.
