Turns out Team 2020 isn’t just interested in winning the White House. They also have their eyes on the Senate, the house, and turning as many key states BLUE as they can. Among those states is MICHIGAN. Michigan was one of 3 pivotal states that went for Trump in 2016. After getting shellacked in 2016, the Michigan Democratic Party’s launched a year-round, full-time field operation, called “One Michigan”. By engaging voters year round, Dems won all state wide elections in 2018: Governor, Senator, Attorney General and Secretary of State. They flipped 2 US House seats and made gains in the state legislature. They plan to stay the course in 2019 and 2020, but that takes funding. To wit, this fundraiser.
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.
