If we get enough RSVPs, we'll have a special
EXCLUSIVE EAST BAY SNEAK PREVIEW with a
VISIT FROM THE PRODUCER of
Granny D Goes to Washington
http://www.grannyddoc.com/
Coming on Public TV this Fall
Granny D just endorsed Prop 89, sign up so we can get inspired by her walk across America for campaign finance reform (and her Senate campaign).
We will definitely be showing a 15-minute Bill Moyers segment, "The Road to Clean Elections," brought by supporters of Proposition 89, on the ballot this fall. We may have a visit from a Prop 89 (California Clean Money initiative) representative to talk about how we can get involved with the campaign, locally and around the state.

If people want, we can also see "The Big Buy," a documentary about Tom Delay's scandal. Feel free to boo and hiss!

Connect to existing projects and help co-create the right ones to match your energy. Get your friends engaged, share techniques, meet other activists (we may do a round of full-group introductions or some exercise to help us find connections amongst us), and make a difference on the ground this election season! We'll project some of the dKos blograiser,
I'm looking forward to seeing a few of you Monday! Sorry for the short notice; there will be future movies-nights in larger venues with more info set in advance. Look for me wearing an exotic hat and a nametag; I'll greet you at the door unless I'm in the kitchen (it's a small place, you should be able to spot me from the door, wherever I am).
The location is in West Berkeley, near North Berkeley BART.
