At the 2017 CCBioneers Conference: Amy Goodman – Democracy Now! Covering the Movements Changing America

The award-winning journalist Amy Goodman, host of that pillar of progressive media Democracy Now!, is without doubt the most indispensable voice reporting with urgent immediacy on the front lines of the most critical struggles facing our nation and world. She will speak about the increased threats to freedom of the press and the crucial importance of truly independent media to hold those in power accountable. In more than 20 years of reporting, Democracy Now! has covered the social movements long ignored by the corporate media, and that are now forming the groundswell of opposition to the Trump administration.  Amy’s recorded talk from the 2017 National Bioneers Conference will be shown Saturday morning November 4 at the Central Coast Bioneers Conference.  For more information about the conference or to register, go to www.ecologistics.org.
