Countdown to Election Day 2024
Join Universal, Mother Jones, and PATH (People Assisting the Homeless) for a special screening of “The Public,” a film by Emilio Estevez. Film screening will be followed by a Q&A with writer/director Emilio Estevez and Mother Jones’ editor-in-chief Clara Jeffery.
Film synopsis: In “the public” an unusually bitter Arctic blast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati and the front doors of the public library where the action of the film takes place. The story revolves around the library patrons, many of whom are homeless, mentally ill and marginalized, as well as an exhausted and overwhelmed staff of librarians who often build emotional connections and a sense of obligation to care for those regular patrons. At odds with library officials over how to handle the extreme weather event, the Patrons turn the building into a homeless shelter for the night by staging an “Occupy” sit in. What begins as an act of civil disobedience becomes a stand off with police and a rush-to-judgment media constantly speculating about what’s really happening. This David versus Goliath story tackles some of our nation’s most challenging issues, homelessness and mental illness and sets the drama inside one of the last bastions of democracy-in-action: your public library.
Who is Pete Buttigieg? (Pronounced BOOT-a-jedge) Or “Mayor Pete” for short!
Magna cum Laude Harvard grad. Rhodes Scholar. Navy Vet. Married. Gay. Age 37. Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, a red state, home of VP Mike Pence. And he’s running for President. Some say he doesn’t have a shot, but Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Obama were largely unknowns until they ran for President. The Washington Post wrote about him and they haven’t ruled him out either. (Read Here.)
Don’t rely on tv, when you can meet the Presidential candidates in person, to form your own opinion of whose the best person for the job.
Mayor Pete is winning voters one living room at a time.

Let’s imagine… Spending a Morning with a National Treasure
I assume by this point you all know who Reverend James Lawson is. That he was the leading proponent of nonviolent protests during the Civil Rights movement. That he brought this philosophy of change to MLK. That he gives a monthly workshop in LA. It is inspiring, and delightful. Seems like something we all need to put on our calendar and get to!
