Event

Amy Goodman - Live!

This is a benefit event for High Country News and The Colorado Independent. Amy Goodman will speak at the Paradise Theater about current events and her new book "Democracy Now! Twenty Years Covering the Movements Changing America" co-written by David Goodman, and Denis Moynihan.

An intimate reception with Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan includes preferred seating for the event, drinks and hors d'oeuvres, and a signed book.

The new book will also be on sale before and after the event.

The book is 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 1400 public television and radio stations around the world, with millions accessing it online. 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. 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 Timor - and 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.
