KBOO Community Radio and Street Roots Newspaper are proud to have Amy Goodman join us at the Aladdin Theater for a lecture followed by a book signing. Join us as Amy speaks about Democracy Now! Twenty Years Covering the Movements Changing America, a book co-authored with David Goodman and Denis Moynihan. There will also be a special major donor/sponsor reception with wine and light hors d'oeuvres from 6:00 to 7:00pm before the presentation with Ms. Goodman. This pre-event is also in the Aladdin Theater.

Amy Goodman is an American broadcast journalist, syndicated columnist, investigative reporter, and author. Goodman's investigative journalism career includes coverage of the East Timor independence movement and Chevron Corporation's role in Nigeria. Since 1996, Goodman has hosted Democracy Now!, an independent global news program broadcast daily on radio, television and the Internet. She is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Thomas Merton Award in 2004, a Right Livelihood Award in 2008, and an Izzy Award in 2009 for "special achievement in independent media". In 2012, Goodman received the Gandhi Peace Award for a "significant contribution to the promotion of an enduring international peace".

Join Amy as she shares stories of the heroes—the whistleblowers, the organizers, the protesters—who have brought about remarkable change. This is a celebration of independent media makers in Portland that are catalysts for individual and social advancement; all proceed go to benefit KBOO Community Radio and Street Roots Newspaper.
