Some folks have organized another screening of this get-up-off-the-couch and DO SOMETHING movie produced by Moms Rising. While the film itself did not knock my socks off, the concept of gathering concerned parents together to connect and prepare for coordinated action is excellent. Truth be told, it was a house party screening back in April that inspired Activistas. Catch it if you can, and meet up with other action-oriented parents. That way, when our moment comes, we'll be coordinated and ready to create the change working parents need to make raising children and being a family in this country so challenging.
Gonna Go? Excellent. It's Saturday 11.10 at 2 PM at the Clinton Street Theater, 2522 SE Clinton. Details here. If you go, let us know what you thought, will ya?
