Today Democracy Now! is the largest public media collaboration in the US\, broadcasting on over 1400 public television and radio stations around the world\, with millions accessing it online at democracynow.org. Now Amy\, along with her journalist brother\, David and co-author Denis Moynihan\, share stories of the heroes—the whistleblowers\, the organizers\, the protesters—who have brought about remarkable change. \nThis important book looks back over the past two decades of Democracy Now!and the powerful movements and charismatic leaders who are re-shaping our world. Goodman takes the reader along as she goes to where the silence is\, bringing out voices from the streets of Ferguson\, to Staten Island\, Wall Street\, South Carolina to East Timor—and other places where people are rising up to demand justice. Democracy Now! is the modern day underground railroad of information\, bringing stories from the grassroots to a global audience.
