Sorry everyone! We forgot to check about the college being closed for the federal holiday! I hope this reaches everyone in time. We'll hope to see you next week instead.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!

"Here's our next movie. We hope you'll come and bring a friend. Pass on this email. Tell others. It's really time to take a new and longer look at what we can change and why it's time to do so.

As I read recently from a member of Idle No More, Reyna Crow, who spoke in St. Cloud last month, Indigenous peoples, leading environmental struggles across North America, are challenging destructive petrochemical exploitation and violations of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and she was quoted saying, “I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change – I am changing the things I cannot accept.”
Our United States government is signatory to the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and, according to our Constitution, it is treasonous to violate international treaties to which we are signatory. Our own government is committing treasonous acts, and, at the same time, declaring whistleblowers and others who stand up against it, to be traitors. Have we had enough yet?
The first feature length documentary on the Occupy movement, American Autumn: an occudoc not only offers answers for those who continue to ask: "what does the occupy movement stand for? What are our demands?" - it offers a challenge and an invitation to engage with the movement. The Occupy movement seeks to be an equalizing force for good in a world dominated by greed. The question some within the Occupy movement are trying to solve is this one: what would a world look like that had a culture and an economic system that places human need above corporate greed, and how do we bring that world into being?
