We live in a world of advertising. Because Democracy Now! doesn’t have corporate ties you rarely see our name around. However, ads are very influential, and with your help we can become more well-known.
Democracy Now! listeners at radio station KMUD in Garberville, Ca., printed an advertisement in their local paper to let others know that the program is now also available on television in their community.
Print a Banner or Lawn Sign
Listeners and viewers carry banners and signs in parades, marches, on their bikes, in their cars, apartments, store windows, and on their lawns.

Hold Up Signs at Your Local Busy Intersection

Many go out during the time the show is broadcast on the radio so that drivers can tune in immediately. Its really easy and has the same affect as a billboard. All you have to do is list the station, time of the broadcast and “Tune into Democracy Now!” Also be sure to include the website www.democracynow.org and keep a stack of flyers with broadcast times handy for those who show interest.
