The webcasts will each last 60 minutes. To listen and type in questions, just point your web browser here (bookmark it now) and turn up your volume. Everyone is encouraged to use the webcast and to type in questions there. It requires a computer and will not work on a phone. If you can’t use a computer, there are a very limited number of lines on which you can phone in. Just call 1-844-472-8237 (toll-free in U.S.)
You can also ask these whistleblowers and truth tellers questions beforehand or during the webcasts by tweeting them to @Roots_Action. The webcasts are sponsored by RootsAction Education Fund and ExposeFacts. Bill Binney and Marcy Wheeler are speaking in Chicago on June 2nd, and Binney in Minneapolis/St. Paul on June 3rd. Area residents can join this awesome art creation in Los Angeles on June 6th. Find an event near you, or create an event for June 1-7 or later. We’ll help you promote it.
