A celebration of the revolutionary change Amy and David Goodman have witnessed during the two decades of their acclaimed television and radio news program Democracy Now!—and how small individual acts from progressive heroes have produced lasting results.
In 1996 Amy Goodman began hosting a show called Democracy Now! to focus on the issues and movements that are too often ignored by the corporate media. Today it is the largest public media collaboration in the US. This important book looks back over the past twenty years of Democracy Now! and the powerful movements and charismatic leaders who are re-shaping our world. Goodman takes us along as she goes to where the silence is, bringing out voices from the streets of Ferguson to Staten Island, Wall Street, and South Carolina to East Timor—and other places where people are rising up to demand justice.

Giving voice to those who have been forgotten, forsaken, and beaten down by the powerful, Democracy Now! pays tribute to those progressive heroes—the whistleblowers, the organizers, the protestors—who have brought about remarkable, often invisible change over the last couple of decades in seismic ways. This is "an impassioned book aiming to fuel informed participation, outrage, and dissent" (Kirkus Reviews).

      This audiobook is an outgrowth of the Pacifica Radio program of the same name, which is hosted by author and narrator Amy Goodman. On the twentieth anniversary of the program's inception she looks back at some of the people whose stories she's covered. Begun as a challenge to big media, "Democracy Now" is one of the most popular news shows on the air. Goodman uses her radio experience to provide listeners with a memorable audio experience. Her voice is somewhat thin, but it urges us to listen to it. She presents information clearly and simply, allowing the words and stories to take precedence over her performance, but not letting us forget that she's guiding us through material she believes we need to hear.
