Tune in to "Democracy Now!" from 8-9 a.m. ET from Silver Springs, Maryland at the conference for the regular show each day, which will feature guests at Freedom to Connect. Afterward democracynow.org will livestream the panels and speeches, including an address by Aaron’s partner, Taren Stinebrickner-Kauffman. On Tuesday Glenn Greenwald gives the keynote address.

We'll deal with real events that are typically reserved for fiction (think movies and books about Zombies, ET's, conspiracies, Mayan Calendars), but that are very "real". It's all really about transitioning back to the magical world from the overly rationalized we're forced into.
