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

At Least 30 Killed in Northeastern Nigeria as Heavy Rains Spawn Flooding

In Nigeria, people are searching for their loved ones after major flooding killed at least 30 people, submerged entire neighborhoods and displaced tens of thousands of people in the northeast.

Aisha Muhammed: “I have one son, and I have not seen or heard from him in three days. We got out on Tuesday after the flood overpowered us. It was really hard for us to get out, but thanks to the soldiers who helped us to safety. Right now we are still searching for my son, no headway yet. We pray to God to help us in this situation.”
