SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 15TH 3-5P

Democracy Now! is on the road for a 2-month, 100-city tour, starting with the Republican National Convention in Tampa and the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, running up to Election Day, holding public events to help raise critical funds for the public broadcasters that carry Democracy Now!. The tour route covers many of the electoral swing states, going beyond the mainstream media’s obsessive focus on the latest poll numbers and candidate gaffes, to see on the ground how people are organizing, the impacts of restrictive voter ID laws that are making it harder to vote, and how the massive influx of campaign cash following the Citizens United decision is changing how our democracy works.

Amy Goodman host of Democracy Now! the award winning independent news program will speak about her new book The Silenced Majority: Uprisings, Occupation, Resistance and Hope at the First Unitarian Universal Church, 93 W. Weiseimer (43214) Book signing with Amy to follow. $10 suggested donation to benefit local community groups.
