Thanks for the heads up to all of us.
To add to this, she is also scheduled to speak at St Joan of Arc Church on May 8th for both the 9 and 11 services.  This may change though.

I thought folks would be interested in hearing Amy
Goodman, journalist commonly known for her work on the
popular radio news program "Democracy Now" which is
also available on satelite TV and cable.

The event is also a fundraiser for some of our local
independent community owned media outlets.
