Amy Goodman, long-time host of Pacifica's flagship news magaizine,

Democracy Now!, began her career in community radio in 1985 at Pacifica

Radio's WBAI in New York where she produced the station's evening news

and in 1996, helped launch and develop DN! into the national, daily,

independent, award-winning news program airing on over 140 radio and TV

stations in North America.

KPFK's Jerry Quickley sent to Baghdad to cover the war, had to leave

behind almost all his photos and videos. Just recently recovered and

flown to America, these pictures have been assembled into a collection

to be shown at this benefit evening.

There will also be a screening of "Afghan Massacre," directed by

award-winning filmmaker Jamie Doran, documents the complicity of the

U.S. military in the massacre of Taliban prisoners during the Afghan

War.
