Taking the Hill Screening

I just received the following draft event notice from the Alaska Democratic Party. Let’s discuss this at our next meeting on the 26^th.

What: Special screening of “Taking the Hill” for Democrats and Progressive Activists in Anchorage, Alaska

When: May 22^nd or May 24^th. 6-8:30pm

• Video introduction by Veterans for Peace Director, Jon Lockert
• Play video (~60-90 minutes)
• Special post-video discussion with Rep. Larry Seaquist (D-WA), Gov. Tony Knowles, Diane Benson

Why: This is an opportunity to galvanize more progressives around the idea that supporting the troops is different than supporting the war. Also, this video shows how passion and commitment can overcome numerous hurdles—something that our Democracy needs more of!

Hosts: Veterans for Peace, Alaska Democratic Party, Military Families Speak Out, et al.

Costs: $175 to buy video and rebroadcast rights. $ to rent adequate facilities. $ for a few snacks and drinks.
