Amy's Coming to Town: October 13th
Mark your calendars! KXCI 91.3 FM Community Radio and Access Tucson Community Media are hosting Amy Goodman's tour stop in Tucson. Details about her Tucson visit are still in progress but will be forthcoming soon.
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.
Hear Democracy Now! on KXCI 91.3 FM weekdays at noon and see it on Access Tucson channel 20 (Cox) / 74 (Comcast) weekdays at 5pm.
