SUMMARY:No Kings: Vote Early car parade in Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime\n\n\n\nSaturday\, October 17 \n\n\n\n8:30am – 12pm MST \n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nThis event’s address is private.Sign up for more details. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\n“Join Civic Engagement Beyond Voting and friends to decorate cars and celebrate early voting! We’ll gather in North Phoenix (address when you sign up) and drive on a high-visibility route (provided at site) to make sure people know to get their votes in early!  \n\n\n\nBring your completed ballot to mail if you can!  \n\n\n\nThis Day of Action\, we’re voting together\, in community — with music\, joy\, and the power of our voices. \n\n\n\nWe’re ready to vote. We’re ready to be heard. We’re ready to protect our democracy. \n\n\n\n🗳️ No Kings. Just Votes. Join the parade! \n\n\n\nWe decide who represents us. We decide what comes next. \n\n\n\nFor more than a year\, millions of people have come together to reject the idea that power belongs to kings\, billionaires\, or politicians who believe they are above the people and the law. \n\n\n\nNow\, we are taking the next step\, turning people power into voter power. Unlike previous No Kings actions\, No Kings: Vote Early\, is not purely a protest. Instead\, on October 17th\, it’s a nationwide day of nonpartisan voter participation: we are bringing our community together to make a plan to vote early and ensuring every eligible voter understands their options for how to vote and has the opportunity to make their voice heard. \n\n\n\nBecause no one person gets to decide our leaders before voters do. On October 17th\, join friends near and far as we get out the early vote around the country\, and say it loud: no thrones\, no crowns\, no kings. \n\n\n\nNo Kings: Vote Early events are nonpartisan and are designed to increase participation from all eligible voters. \n\n\n\nA core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind\, including those legally permitted\, should not be brought to events. “https://www.mobilize.us/cebv/event/1045042/?emci=223b183a-beb9-f111-a6a9-000d3a56d2f7&emdi=29d07cc1-d3ba-f111-a6a9-000d3a56d2f7&ceid=11591071

SUMMARY:”The White House Effect” free screening
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTickets Available DAY OF at Box Office \n\n\n\nSATURDAY\, OCTOBER 17 AT 2:30PM\n\n\n\nFREE ADMISSION\n\n\n\nTICKETS AVAILABLE DAY OF AT BOX OFFICE\n\n\n\n“Join us for a Free Screening of Emmy-nominated The White House Effect with a Post-Screening Talkback! \n\n\n\nA riveting look at a key moment in the history of the climate crisis\, THE WHITE HOUSE EFFECT from directors Bonni Cohen\, Pedro Kos and Jon Shenk travels back in time to document how a crucial opportunity to take real action on global warming was not just squandered but deliberately undermined. \n\n\n\nWoven entirely of archival material\, the documentary focuses on the pivotal years of the George H.W. Bush administration—1988 to 1992—when the entire country was waking up to the reality of global warming and Bush had pledged to use “the White House effect” to tackle it. \n\n\n\nInfuriating and irrefutable\, THE WHITE HOUSE EFFECT tracks cause and effect with devastating precision to reveal just how hollow that promise became as Bush finds himself increasingly caught between his chief of staff John Sununu and industry power brokers on one side and his EPA chief Bill Reilly and climatologists on the other. \n\n\n\nAs the world prepares for the Rio Earth Summit in 1992\, Bush faces mounting pressure to make a decision that will change the course of history—culminating with the U.S. undermining a global agreement to set hard limits on emissions\, setting the stage for the increasingly hot\, dangerous\, and polarized future we all now face. (Dir. by Bonni Cohen\, Pedro Kos & Jon Shenk\, 2024\, USA\, 94 mins.\, Not Rated) \n\n\n\nThis screening will be followed by an intergenerational discussion with local activists moderated by 350.org’s US Campaigns Manager Candice Fortin. \n\n\n\nThis is a Community Rental presented by Actual Films.” \n\n\n\n1 HR 36 MIN | NR\n\n\n\nReleased 2024\n\n\n\n\nThe White House Effect
