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

Immigration Rights Protester Interrupts Obama Speech

HeadlineOct 29, 2014

President Obama faces continued protests over his recent decision to delay executive action on immigration reform. Obama had promised a broad overhaul by the end of summer, including a potential new reprieve to slow his record-breaking deportations. But last month, he delayed any moves until after the upcoming midterm elections. While campaigning for Democrats in Wisconsin on Tuesday, President Obama faced a disruption from the crowd.

President Obama: “Hold on a second, young lady. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. Hold on a second. It’s alright. The young lady is expressing her concern about immigration and the fact that we don’t have a comprehensive immigration bill. The problem is, she should be protesting the Republicans who are blocking it in Congress. That’s what you should be doing. That’s what she should be doing, because I’m for it.”
