About Amy's Book
In 1996 Amy Goodman began hosting a show on Pacifica Radio called Democracy Now! to focus on the issues and movements that are too often ignored by the corporate media. Today Democracy Now! is the largest public media collaboration in the US, broadcasting on over 1400 public television and radio stations around the world, with millions accessing it online at democracynow.org. Now Amy, along with her journalist brother, David and co-author Denis Moynihan, share stories of the heroesthe whistleblowers, the organizers, the protesterswho have brought about remarkable change.

Democracy Now!: Twenty Years Covering the Movements Changing America looks at the powerful movements and charismatic leaders who are re-shaping our world. Goodman takes the reader along as she goes to where the silence is, bringing out voices from the streets of Ferguson, to Staten Island, Wall Street, South Carolina to East Timorand other places where people are rising up to demand justice. Democracy Now! is the modern day underground railroad of information, bringing stories from the grassroots to a global audience.

Bookworks will have Amy's new book and previously published books available for sale. "Democracy Now!: Twenty Years Covering the Movements Changing America" will be available for sale during the event for $26.00 + tax.  

Ticket sales for the event will benefit Albuquerque's community media center, the non-profit organization Quote Unquote Inc.

Kennedy Charter High School.
