** Film Screening and Panel: Power to Heal and Medicare for All
------------------------------------------------------------
POWER TO HEAL is a 56 minute long documentary that tells a poignant chapter in the historic struggle to secure equal and adequate health care for all Americans. Central to the story is the tale of how a new national program, Medicare, was used to mount a dramatic, coordinated effort that desegregated thousands of hospitals across the country practically overnight.
After the screening panelists will discuss racial disparities in health care today and how the fight for health justice continues. We'll hear updates on the national fight to win Medicare for All and learn how local activists have been working to get Congresswoman Doris Matsui to cosponsor the Medicare for All bill (H.R. 1384). Rep. Matsui is currently NOT a cosponsor.
Doors open at 6:30. Movie starts at 7.

** Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz Talk
------------------------------------------------------------
LOADED: A DISARMING HISTORY OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT, is a deeply researched—and deeply disturbing—history of guns and gun laws in the United States, from the original colonization of the country to the present. As historian and educator Dunbar-Ortiz explains, in order to understand the current obstacles to gun control, we must understand the history of U.S. guns, from their role in the “settling of America” and the early formation of the new nation, and continuing up to the present.Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz grew up in rural Oklahoma, the daughter of a tenant farmer. She has been active in the international Indigenous movement for more than four decades and is known for her lifelong commitment to national and international social justice issues. She is the author or editor of over thirteen books, including Roots of Resistance: A History of Land Tenure in New Mexico; The Great Sioux Nation: An Oral History of the Sioux-United States Treaty of 1868; Indians of the Americas: Human Rights and
Self-Determination, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, and co-author of All the Real Indians Died Off and Twenty Other Myths about Native Americans.
