Democracy Now!: Twenty Years Covering the Movements Changing America Audiobook (Free)

A celebration of the revolutionary switch Amy and David Goodman have witnessed during the two decades of their acclaimed tv and radio news program Democracy Right now!-and how small individual acts from progressive heroes have produced lasting results.

In 1996 Amy Goodman began hosting a display called Democracy Right now! to spotlight the issues and movements that are too often disregarded by the corporate media. Today it is the largest community media collaboration in america. This important book looks back about Democracy Now!: TWO DECADES Covering the Movements Changing America within the last two decades of Democracy Now! and the powerful movements and charismatic leaders who are re-shaping our world. Goodman takes us along as she goes to where in fact the silence is, offering voices from your streets of Ferguson to Staten Isle, Wall Street, and South Carolina to East Timor-and other places where folks are rising up to demand justice.

Giving voice to those who have been forgotten, forsaken, and beaten down with the powerful, Democracy Now! pays tribute to the people intensifying heroes-the whistleblowers, the organizers, the protestors-who have brought about amazing, often invisible change over the last couple of years in seismic ways. This is “an impassioned book aiming to gasoline informed participation, outrage, and dissent” (Kirkus Testimonials).
