Join us for a celebration of the acclaimed news program Democracy Now! and the extraordinary heroes who have moved our democracy forward.

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 1,400 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 heroes--the whistleblowers, the organizers, the protesters--who have brought about remarkable change. This important book looks back over the past two decades of Democracy Now! and the powerful movements and charismatic leaders who are re- shaping our world.

This offsite, ticketed book talk and signing will take place at The Rio Theatre.

Tickets = $28.30: Includes two seats at the event and one copy of Democracy Now. Purchase tickets, while supplies last, at Bookshop or on our website.
