"Now the Work of Movements Begins"
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
The election is over, and President Barack Obama will continue as the 44th president of the United States. There will be much attention paid by the pundit class to the mechanics of the campaigns, to the techniques of microtargeting potential voters, the effectiveness of get-out-the-vote efforts. The media analysts will fill the hours on the cable news networks, proffering post-election chestnuts about the accuracy of polls, or about either candidate’s success with one demographic or another. Missed by the mainstream media, but churning at the heart of our democracy, are social movements, movements without which President Obama would not have been re-elected.
Democracy Now! is on the road for a 100-city community and college speaking tour from the conventions through the elections and beyond. Find out if we’re making a stop near you!
