A few short weeks after both major parties officially kick off the presidential race for the White House, Amy Goodman – host of the acclaimed radio show Democracy Now! – will offer her thoughts on what the election means for women, people of color, and poor people in this country and internationally. Copies of Goodman’s books will be available for purchase.

This event is free and open to the public. For more information, call (312) 996-4542. Parking is available (for a fee) in a small adjacent lot or in a parking structure at 1100 South Wood Street.
