Panel: Media in a Time of War and Resistance

Join us on January 16th at 7pm for a panel on Media in the age of war and resistance. The panel will feature Flashpoints host Dennis Bernstein, Nora Barrows-Friedman with Electronic Intifada and Green and Red Podcast co-host Prof. Robert Buzzanco.

We’re living in challenging times with crises around war in the Middle East, renewed McCarthyist attacks on free speech, corporate domination of everyday life and escalating climate disasters. We’re also living in a time where large numbers of people have taken to the streets to confront those responsible for these crises. For decades, independent media has told the stories that corporate media has kept hidden. It has shined a light on the elites and corporations making profit from destruction of people and the planet.

As we enter another Trump administration, radical independent media will be more important than ever.

WHERE: The Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists; 1924 Cedar St. , Berkeley CA

WHEN: Jan. 16th. Doors open at 7pm. Event begins at 7:15pm
