In addition, Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik (authors of Broadway’s Spring Awakening) will perform new songs and Jorie Graham and Gerald Stern will contribute new poems. Singer and songwriter Jackson Browne will participate in the series’ final event on December 16.


Other participants include Michael Ratner, President of the Center for Constitutional Rights, Bruce Fein, Associate Deputy Attorney General under President Ronald Reagan and member of the American Bar Association’s Task Force on Presidential Signing Statements, retired Colonel Ann Wright, one of three U.S. State Department officials who resigned in protest prior to the invasion and occupation of Iraq in March, 2003, best-selling political journalist and Salon.com contributor Joe Conason, bestselling author Naomi Wolf, attorney Martin Garbus, attorney Elizabeth Holtzman, David Swanson, co-founder of AfterDowningStreet.com and retired CIA officer Ray McGovern, former NBC correspondent Richard Valeriani, journalist Scott Horton and more.
