Amy Goodman to Speak May 10

Radio talk show host and author Amy Goodman will be speaking in Grand
Rapids on May 10. Amy and her crew with Democracy Now! are on a speaking
tour with Amy's newest book "Standing Up to the Madness: Ordinary Heroes
in Extraordinary Times."

Her visit would be an excellent opportunity for your students to hear
about the work of someone in the independent media field, We are aware
that her visit is after the semester is over, but we would be grateful if
you could pass this information along to students.

This event is being sponsored by the Grand Rapids Indy Media group
MediaMouse.org. Media Mouse is an independent media collective that works
to provide independent news pertaining to Grand Rapids and the world.
Wherever possible, Media Mouse aims to draw links between national and
local issues and between movements for social change. In turn, it is hoped
that this news will be a catalyst for action and will help spur organizing
for social change.

The Amy Goodman lecture begins at 7pm at Plymouth Congregational UCC
located at 4110 Kalamazoo SE, just north of 44th street. Doors open at 6pm
and since this is a fundraiser for Media Mouse we are asking people to
donate anywhere between $5 and $25 to help support the independent media
we do here in West Michigan.

Following the lecture, there will be a book signing and books will be
available for purchase.
