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

Doctors in India Continue Strike, Demand Gov’t Action in Response to Rape and Murder of Colleague

HeadlineAug 20, 2024

In India, hundreds of thousands of doctors have prolonged their nationwide strike over the rape and murder of a young medical trainee in a Kolkata hospital earlier this month. Doctors at public hospitals turned away all but emergency patients Monday as they continued to take to the streets in protest.

Dr. Rajni: “This is not a rape of a doctor. It’s not a rape of a doctor. It’s a rape of a daughter. She was a daughter. She was a sister, someone’s sister. So, if we do not raise a voice for ourselves, then no one ever will. For this, we are here.”
