Dear John,
Netroots Nation is less than two weeks away and I wanted to make sure you knew about these fun after-hours events happening each night.
• After our Opening Keynote on Thursday, Voqal is hosting Wanted: Bold Ideas, an interactive session full of dance, videos, and spoken word. Meet new friends, get inspired by the creativity in the room and hear how you can bring your ideas for social change to life through the Voqal Fellowship. (Thursday, August 13 from 7-8:30 p.m. Eastern)
• On Friday evening, join us for a screening of the Netflix documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, from executive producers Barack and Michelle Obama under their growing production company, “Higher Ground.” A groundbreaking summer camp galvanizes a group of teens with disabilities to help build a movement, forging a new path toward greater equality. Crip Camp took home the coveted Audience Award for U.S. Documentary at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. (Friday, August 14 from 7-9 p.m. Eastern)
• And on Saturday, join us for the world premiere of Resisterhood. If ever there was a time for an uplifting film about standing up for a more just and inclusive America, it is now. Resisterhood is a documentary about the power of women, hope and resistance in modern American politics. Beginning at the 2017 Women’s March in Washington, DC, the film follows six diverse Americans as they fight for social justice on the streets and in the halls of power. Over the course of two years, experience the reality of Trump’s America through their eyes. And through their actions, witness the strength and courage of ordinary Americans during this extraordinary time. Closed captioning and Spanish subtitles will be available. (Saturday, August 15 from 7-9 p.m. Eastern)
