[Adele Hansen (hanse002]

The Summer Assemblies committee is sponsoring a special screening of 
a documentary  by Independent Voices on Sunday, July 29 after the 
Summer Assemblies Service. (12:00 in the Dietrich room).
Here'as some info about the group:

We are a team of people of color, women, youth, and social justice 
activist journalists who produce an award-winning, non-profit, 
grass-roots TV news show called Independent Voices. We have worked on 
stories related to environmental justice, destruction in the wake of 
Hurricane Katrina, women rights, immigrant rights, peace movement, 
anti-racsim campaigns, and general themes on media and democracy. Our 
show is broadcast on public access channels in 70 cities across the 
country. You could also view our current episode or learn more about 
our show on our blog -

  We are very luckly to have worked with members of Unitarian 
Universalist Fellowship of Raleigh (North Carolina) and with many 
other organizations to highlight human-rights abuses and worked on 
projects to empower marginalized communities. We also hold a monthly 
film screening at Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Raleigh that 
enables us to interact with community members about the issues 
highlighted in our show. We believe that such screenings are vital to 
encourgae civic participation from the audience of our show.
One of our co-producers would be visiting Minneapolis/St.Paul area 
from July 27th to July 29th as part of a national media conference.

   Independent Voices will spread the word to media and social 
justice communities in Minneapolis/St Paul area. They do not charge 
any fees, but may seek donations at the end of our show if it is 
permitted.

we'll probably need some help with refreshments, and we need to know 
if you are okay with having them ask for donations.
