Democracy Now! with Amy Goodman
Join us as we celebrate the paperback release of DEMOCRACY NOW! with author and journalist Amy Goodman. A celebration of the acclaimed television and radio news program Democracy Now! and the extraordinary movements and heroes who have moved our democracy forward.
Tickets are not required to attend this event, but because of expected high attendance, those pre-purchasing a copy of "Democracy Now!" by way of this ticket will be guaranteed a seat and priority in signing line.
Goodman will speak about increased threats to freedom of the press and the importance of truly independent media to hold those in power accountable. In more than 20 years of reporting, Democracy Now! has covered the social movements that are now forming the groundswell of opposition to the Trump administration; movements long ignored by the corporate media, but central to Democracy Now!'s daily journalism.
Amy will be introduced by her co-author, Democracy Now!s Denis Moynihan.
