About Me:
The woman in the photo is Amy Goodman. She is the host of Democracy Now! (http://www.democracynow.org).
This is a radio program airing on smaller, independent radio stations near you. Why? Because it airs revealing, controversial political content which is the types of information the main media markets are too fearful to address, too corporate (and therby too conservative about upsetting their sponsors), or too lazy, dishonest, or unable to pursue it.
The major media groups pursue profit, and where political intrigue (as though the general behavior isn't bad enough) can drive profit, you might seem them conver important stories. Otherwise, it's about OJ Simpson and shallow coverage of politics and economics.
My program does what they do not and cannot do. It covers and criticizes the government, corporations, individuals because so few other voices are doing it well.

Testimonials and Comments for Democracynow
Amy and the DN crew were my favorites to work for at WBAI in the late 90s. I wish Amy and Democracy Now all the best and I believe they can change the course of our country.

The Culture Project: 45 Bleecker Street @ Lafayette in NYC
$5 Suggested donation, Free Beer

On October 10, UnfinishedWorks @ Culture Project will offer a night of music, poetry, and visual art honoring the struggle of working class people. The evening will include Broadcast Live, a musical project born in Albany, NY's activist community.
Broadcast Live promotes social change through music, and speaks truth to power. Taina Asili will also perform weaving resistance, anti-colonialist struggle, love, identity, reclamation of the body, ancestral remembrance, and more into a unique story-telling style of poetry.
Chris Stain, Josh MacPhee, and Billy Mode will share their street art depicting the history of radical movements while directly reflecting the people, neighborhoods, and struggles, that are swept along with the every day lives of the common American.
UnfinishedWorks is the Culture Project's monthly salon series, featuring the work of emerging artists across disciplines. In September and October, in concert with the IMPACT festival, is curated by Zoeann Murphy.
If everyone listened to Amy Goodman rather than the BS in the mainstream, and we had a sound elections system, there might still be hope for this country.
Democracy Now!!!!
The people's movement is rad and I'm glad she
gave birth to Democracy Now. Amy Goodman is a
babe, a badass and an inspiration, so if you work
with her, you're pretty awesome.

so much of the world is telling me it's useless.
