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

Thousands Attend Funeral for Freddie Gray

HeadlineApr 28, 2015

The protests came after Freddie Gray’s funeral was attended by thousands, including Maryland Democratic Congressmember Elijah Cummings; a delegation from the White House; and the family of Eric Garner, the Staten Island man who died after a New York City police officer put him in a banned chokehold. Billy Murphy, an attorney for Freddie Gray’s family, addressed the mourners.

Billy Murphy: “You know, most of us are not here because we knew Freddie Gray, but we’re all here because we know lots of Freddie Grays.”

Rev. Jesse Jackson also addressed mourners. We’ll speak to him in Baltimore after headlines.
