Today is Democracy Now!’s 29th anniversary. We don’t belong to any corporation or government. We exist because of you. Thanks to you, we have gone to where the silence is for nearly 3 decades. As federal workers rally across the US today-hundreds of thousands fear losing their jobs-we bring you the voices from the streets to the suites, from the courts to the Oval Office, flooding the zone with executive orders. You can count on Democracy Now! for daily global updates and deep dives—with voices you hear nowhere else.
Democracy Now! produces a daily, global, independent news hour hosted by award-winning journalists Amy Goodman and Juan González. Our reporting includes breaking daily news headlines and in-depth interviews with people on the front lines of the world’s most pressing issues. On Democracy Now!, you’ll hear a diversity of voices speaking for themselves, providing a unique and sometimes provocative perspective on global events.
Democracy Now! is broadcast daily across the United States and Canada as well as in countries around the world. Our program is on Pacifica, NPR, community, college and satellite radio stations; on PBS, public, community and satellite TV; and viewed by millions of people online each day. Our headlines are broadcast in Spanish on radio stations across the U.S., Central and South America, and in Europe.
Democracy Now! launched in 1996, airing on nine radio stations. More than two decades later, we have grown to be one of the leading U.S.-based independent daily news broadcasts in the world.
As an independent news program, Democracy Now! is audience-supported, which means that our editorial independence is never compromised by corporate or government interests.
