AMY GOODMAN & DAVID GOODMAN
AUTHORS OF STANDING UP TO THE MADNESS
IN CONVERSATION WITH RICHARD WOLINSKY
In Standing Up to the Madness: Ordinary Heroes in Extraordinary Times Amy and David detail the ways in which grassroots activists have taken politics out of the hands of politicians. This new book tells the stories of everyday citizens who have challenged the government and prevailed. The book 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.
Amy Goodman spent several years as News Director of WBAI-FM in New York before founding Democracy Now!, now heard and seen in nearly 768 stations around the United States. David Goodman is a noted journalist writing for Mother Jones magazine.
Amy and David discuss the origins and topics in the book, with emphasis on what's changed since the Obama presidency began.
