question: when is the next E&E meet up?
I have been meaning to hop on and invest more energy in this direction, as I believe it is currently the single greatest effort we could invest in at present. specifically, is this not the best venue for outreach we have to tap at present?
RE movie night, this is a FANTASTIC idea, and I love it. Another thought.. before movie night begins, we spend 1/2 hour marching around town, banging pots, carrying signs, and banners, and welcoming others to join us for the spectical. If we offer up free food & drink, there’ll be even more in attendance. Montpelier can get chilly at night right? maybe some hot chicken soup would warm the belly?
RE other films, I would make the following suggestions, and can assist in obtaining DVDs/etc:
Thrive, What on Earth will it Take – http://www.thrivemovement.com/ – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OibqdwHyZxk
Better this World – http://betterthisworld.com/ – The radio show This American Life and the documentary film Better This World expose in detail the manipulation used to set up these young people–all with the intent of undermining the activist effort they were associated with.
King Corn – http://www.kingcorn.net/ – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiCRwMMh9k8
The Hemp Revolution – http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/hemp-revolution/ – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA4v_XBEk6A
RE more E&E stuff.. for E&E focused on our group – teachins on outreach, strategy, non-violent direct action, conscious communication, and movement building / history of movements are all topics I believe we could benefit a lot from.
