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

Grieving Ohio Father Blasts Trump and Vance for Politicizing Son’s Death

Back in the U.S., the father of an 11-year-old Ohio boy who died in a traffic accident involving a driver from Haiti is demanding Trump, JD Vance and other Republican leaders stop using his son for political gain. Vance recently referenced 11-year-old Aiden Clark as part of the far-right’s online and verbal attacks on Ohio’s Haitian community. Nathan Clark addressed the Springfield City Commission Tuesday.

Nathan Clark: “They can vomit all the hate they want about illegal immigrants, the border crisis and even untrue claims about fluffy pets being ravaged and eaten by community members. However, they are not allowed, nor have they ever been allowed, to mention Aiden Clark from Springfield, Ohio.”
