SUMMARY:We Cried Power Screening Los Angeles Poor People's Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for the screening of the powerful documentary film\, ‘We Cried Power’ by Dara Kell. ‘We Cried Power’ tells the story of a bold new social movement to end poverty in the United States\, led by Rev. Dr. William J\, Barber and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis. Inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1968 Poor People’s Campaign – Reverend Barber\, a pastor from a small town in North Carolina\, joined other clergy to launch a national movement led by poor and working people. During the Summer of 2018\, thousands of people – Black\, White\, Latino\, Indigenous Peoples\, Asian\, Jewish\, Muslim and Christian\, people not of faith\, gay\, straight\, young and old – work together\, picking up the baton from the freedom fighters of the Civil Rights Movement. \n\n\n\nThe documentary ‘We Cried Power’ is an intimate account of a “season of resistance\,” told through his eyes and the mothers\, veterans\, preachers\, and students who are the voices and founding members of this new ‘fusion’ movement. The film bears witness to the profound process by which those without power decide not to accept their powerlessness. Instead\, they claim – through protest\, dance\, song\, and poems\, through testimony and tears – their birthright to live decent lives in the United States of America. \n\n\n\nSaturday\, February 22nd\, 1 PMSEIU Local 7211545 Wilshire Blvd.Los Angeles\, CA 90017Basement Auditorium \n\n\n\nLight snacks and refreshments will be servedPlease let us know if you need child care.Suggested donation $10- $20\, no one will be turned away. \n\n\n\nThis is a fund raiser\, as we aim to send 600 people from California to the June 20\, 2020 Mass Poor People’s Assembly and Moral March on Washington DC. Come join us as we congregate with people from all over this country demanding our nation addresses the increasing issue of poverty in the richest country in the world. 140 million people and growing\, live either as low income or in poverty. California alone\, 55% are low income or in poverty. Fresno County\, the bread basket of this country has one of the highest rates of poverty in the nation. In Los Angeles County\, 2018\, 53\,000 were homeless without shelter. According to Kaiser Health News\, in 2018\, 918 people died while homeless in LA. These numbers are increasing.
