In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Tabling Tips
When tabling, your goal is to get people interested in the show and energized about your campaign. It can be disheartening when people are too busy to talk with you. But keep your chin up! You are doing important work, getting even one new listener/viewer makes a huge difference.
The three most important points of tabling are:
1. A good location increases the number of people who will casually walk by and possibly start up a conversation with you.
2. Making eye contact, smiling, and calling out tag-lines to perk their interest are essential ways to attract people to the table. Being friendly and welcoming makes people less nervous to come up to your table. Once they are looking at the table, try engaging them in conversation about DN!
3. Familiarity with the show allows you to be able to talk in depth and comfortably about DN! By simply listening to/watching the show you should be fine!
If you choose to make your own materials, please send us a copy so that we can facilitate the sharing of ideas among DN! supporters around the country. Contact the Democracy Now! Outreach Team by email: Email: outreach@democracynow.org or call us at: 212-431-9090 x802
