What Wakes Me Up Episode 6 Veterans Tell Their Stories presents:

Friends, to commemorate Veterans Day, 11/11, Episode 6 of What Wakes Me Up features the plight of military veterans in our communities. Two Veterans have cocreated this episode by generously telling their stories; one from the Vietnam War and one from the continuing war in the Middle East.

They independently related facts that are common to both their lives:

  • Sharing their experiences helps other veterans, and themselves.
  • War is just wrong, for so many reasons.
  • The military misrepresented facts to them around enlistment and benefits.
  • Getting help with mental health is difficult, stigmatized and inconsistent.

On March 5th, Side by Side–a Richmond-based non-profit that is dedicated to creating supportive communities where Virginia’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning youth can define themselves, belong, and flourish–partnered with the ACLU of Virginia, Equality Virginia, and Nationz Foundation for a town hall discussion on supporting transgender youth.

Many in our community had questions regarding the Trump Administration’s decision to rescind guidelines regarding protections for transgender youth in public schools. The town hall was an opportunity to learn information on what the law says and how members of our community can support transgender youth in our schools today!

WRIR presents Amy Goodman in-person on Sunday, Sept. 30

Amy Goodman - The Silenced Majority

Join WRIR on Sunday, September 30th from Noon to 1:30pm at the Lewis Ginter Recreation Center Auditorium for a talk with Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now!   She will be speaking from noon until 1pm and then signing copies of her new book co-written with Denis Moynihan, The Silenced Majority: Stories of Uprisings, Occupations, Resistance, and Hope.

Admission is a $10 donation at the door, $8 in advance. Tickets will be available for pre-sale on select dates and times at the station during the WRIR Fund Drive and online via www.brownpapertickets.com.

Starting with the major party conventions and running up to Election Day, Democracy Now! is on a 2-month, 100-city open-to-the-public tour. The organization will travel through many swing states to discuss the multi-faceted components of the 2012 election season. These discussions will look at how people are organizing, the impacts of restrictive voter ID laws and how the Citizens United decision is changing how our democracy works, all while raising essential funds for public community television and radio stations across the country.

Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan share stories that empower everyday people to confront corporate and government power in The Silenced Majority. They examine what is influencing our society today by giving an account of events, conflicts, and social movements. Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now!, is an award-winning investigative journalist, syndicated columnist, and author. She has authored four New York Times bestsellers, including her latest, Breaking the Sound Barrier. Denis Moynihan helped co-found Democracy Now! in 2002 and is the founder of a new noncommercial, community radio station in Colorado’s high country. Democracy Now! currently airs on more than 1,000 public television and radio stations in 35 countries. For more information about Amy Goodman and Democracy Now!, please visit democracynow.org.

The Amy Goodman 2012 Election and Community Media Tour is made possible by national public TV/radio news hour Democracy Now! with local sponsorship for the stop in Richmond, VA by WRIR LP 97.3 FM – Richmond Independent Radio and co-sponsor regional magazine North of the James.

The Silenced Majority: Stories of Uprisings, Occupations, Resistance, and Hope will be available for sale at the event.
