Democracy Now!, KPOV’s most popular syndicated news program, airs Monday through Friday at 8am and at noon. Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez co-host this independent, global news hour (democracynow.org) on over 450 stations in North America.

Goodman will examine how people are organizing, the impact of new voter ID laws that make it harder to vote and how the massive influx of campaign cash following the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision is changing how democracy works. Bend is one of over 100 cities that Amy Goodman is going to on a two-month tour, which includes promotion of a new book, The Silenced Majority, co-authored with Denis Moynihan.
