On Sunday, April 19th, Bay Area Current is co-presenting a screening of Steal This Story, Please!, a documentary about Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman, at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco.
After the film, Current Editorial Board Member Myron Angus will be in conversation with Amy Goodman and director Tia Lessin about the role of the media in our current political climate, the importance of independent news, among other topics.
We're excited for this conversation as Democracy Now! has paved the way for outlets like ours: an independent, local publication, backed by readers not billionaires, upfront about its politics. We'll hope you join us:
