Democracy Now's longtime producer, Amy Goodman, spoke at length to a packed audience in Cambridge, MA, on 5/10/2016. Amy talks about the most pressing issues facing our democracy today, the 2016 presidential election, and she reflects on the past twenty years of covering the heroes at the forefront of movements for change in America.
Her brother and co-author David Goodman also spoke briefly. The event was sponsored by Cambridge Forum (cambridgeforum.org), and while its own recording will be posted, CF has pledged to edit it into a 30-minute segment convenient for radio broadcasters. Since Amy spoke for 72 minutes, we believe all of it deserves to be shared widely, so we got Amy's permission to post its entirety.

Amy Goodman and some of her Democracy Now team are halfway through a remarkable 100-city tour. Meanwhile she continues to produce Democracy Now every weekday. For more information about Democracy Now, or to sample its content, go to its website (democracynow.org).
Part of the 100-city tour involves selling and signing Amy's most recent book, Democracy Now! 20 Years Covering the Movements Changing America (co-authored with DN staffer Denis Moynihan and Amy's brother, journalist David Goodman).
This was recorded by Stan Robinson for Truth and Justice Radio, aired Sundays 6-10am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, streaming and archived for two weeks at wzbc.org.
