a daily independent global news hour

WHEN: Doors open at 6 pm
WHERE: Grass Valley Veterans Hall 255 S. Auburn St., Grass Valley, CA
DESCRIPTION: A talk and booksigning to benefit KVMR community radio at Grass Valley.

This year marks a new era in United States government and the 13th anniversary of Democracy Now! KVMR is proud to host the return of Amy Goodman, award-winning host of Democracy Now!, and her brother, investigative journalist David Goodman.

As is evident with the myriad bailouts and their attendant excesses, and Pres. Obama’s attenuated withdrawal plans from Iraq, along with his pledge to escalate the war in Afghanistan, the importance of independent media and strong, independent grassroots movements are essential. We need a media that covers these movements, that doesn’t ignore, or worse, mock or stigmatize such civic engagement. Amy and David will share with you the importance of independent, community media, especially in covering the grassroots movements and individual courage that effects genuine change.
