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 TRIPLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $30 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

“Now Is the Time to Get a Ceasefire Deal”: Kamala Responds to Pro-Palestinian Protesters

HeadlineAug 12, 2024

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, spoke before a crowd of over 15,000 in Arizona Friday in their largest rally to date. During Harris’s speech, a group of protesters began chanting “Free, free Palestine.” The vice president paused to respond.

Vice President Kamala Harris: “And let me just say this on topic of what I think I’m hearing over there. Let me just speak to that for a moment, and then I’m going to get back to the business at hand. So, let me say, I have been clear: Now is the time to get a ceasefire deal and get the hostage deal done.”

Harris’s response to the pro-Palestinian protesters in Arizona marked a notable shift in tone from how she reacted to protesters in Michigan.

Vice President Kamala Harris: “If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that; otherwise, I’m speaking.”
