§Standing Up to the Madness: Ordinary Heroes in Extraordinary Times

Wed, Apr 1, 2009 9:04PM

by Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now!, and David Goodman

Standing Up to the Madness not only is a timely, inspiring, and even revolutionary look at who wields the greatest power in America--everyday people who take a chance and stand up for what they believe in--but also offers advice on what you can do to help.

Where are the millions marching in the streets to defend human rights, civil liberties, and racial justice? Where is the mass revulsion against the killing and torture being carried out in our name? Where are the environmentalists? Where is the peace movement?

The answer: They are everywhere.

The award-winning sister-brother team of Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now!, and investigative journalist David Goodman traveled the country to detail the ways in which grassroots activists have taken politics out of the hands of politicians. Standing Up to the Madness tells the stories of everyday citizens who have challenged the government and prevailed.

Interesting Amy Goodman coming to Santa Cruz to speak- a "benefit" for KUSP?
who aires (NPR) National Pentagon/Propaganda Radio?

KUSP needs to be thrown out of this town- they are right wing proagandists, pure and simple.
NO fundraisers for these corporate media right wing filth.

What happened to fundraisers for our local pirate radio station, FREE RADIO SANTA CRUZ?
This is who Amy Goodman needs to fundraise for. Let DN know about this.
