The Indypendent is an independent media organization that works to expose the truth. Published bimonthly, free and found primarily in NYC independent bookstores and coffee shops, The Indypendent covers the grassroots and the topics the mainstream media doesn’t delve into. It is not bought or influenced by Mayor Bloomberg Inc. It’s a great organization to support.

Author Naomi Klein has written about corporations, capitalism, and public spaces, i.e., “The Commons.” She is just one of the impressive speakers, including Jeremy Skahill, Laura Flanders, and more, at the event tonite benefiting The Indypendent.  Info:
