Hello peaceable people,<br>
<br>
In September (9/14), Sierra Club is showing the Naomi Klein film
"This Changes Everything", which talks about climate change,
capitalism, and citizen action, with discussion afterward. Pam and
Lan Richart of the Eco-Justice Collaborative will speak about
environmental justice work, too.<br>
<br>
Nancy Dietrich invites AWARE to be a co-sponsor of the film showing
- we'd let people know about it, and if possible contribute some
money. (The film showing costs $300, so if we can cover a small
part of that they'd appreciate it.)<br>
<br>
Hoping we can talk about this at today's AWARE meeting. I've seen
the film and like it. They're planning to get copies of Klein's
book by the same title, which Nancy and others say makes an even
clearer case for action than the film does.<br>
<br>
Here's the invitation:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Prairie Group of the Illinois Chapter of
Sierra Club will be sponsoring a screening of the Naomi Klein
film, This Changes Everything, based on her book, This Changes
Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate. <em><span
style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">This
Changes Everything</span></em> is an epic attempt to
re-imagine the vast challenge of climate change. A short
trailer and more information about the film can be seen here: <a
href="http://thefilm.thischangeseverything.org/about/">http://thefilm.thischangeseverything.org/about/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 14<sup>th</sup>
at 6:30pm, at Channing-Murray Foundation on the corner of
Mathews & Oregon on campus, followed by discussion. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking for co-sponsors who can help
spread the word. Co-sponsors will be listed on any promotional
material (emails, flyers, etc) that will be put out about the
film. Also, if you are able to make a small donation of $30 (or
any amount) to help offset the cost of showing the film that
would be wonderful, *but not required*. The main thing is we
want to get the word out about the screening. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know if you would like to
co-sponsor this important film, or if you have any questions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your time and interest,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nancy Dietrich<o:p></o:p></p>
On behalf of the Prairie Group of the Illinois Chapter of Sierra
