[Peace-discuss] To discuss at AWARE: "This Changes Everything" 9/14 film co-sponsorship with Sierra Club

[Stuart Levy]

Hello peaceable people,

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.

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.)

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.

Here's the invitation:

> 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.  /This Changes Everything/ 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: 
> http://thefilm.thischangeseverything.org/about/
>
> It will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 14^th at 6:30pm, at
> Channing-Murray Foundation on the corner of Mathews & Oregon on
> campus, followed by discussion.
>
> 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.
>
> Please let me know if you would like to co-sponsor this important
> film, or if you have any questions.
>
> Thanks for your time and interest,
>
> Nancy Dietrich

> On behalf of the Prairie Group of the Illinois Chapter of Sierra Club
