What Happened to Dujuan? Premiere Screening and Panel @ First Unitarian Church of Oakland
Aug 30 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Join us for a benefit film showing and panel.
This fast-paced powerful documentary follows Barbara Doss’ search to discover the details of her son Dujuan Armstrong’s death in Santa Rita Jail. In June, 2018,23-year-old Dujuan Armstrong died while serving weekends for a 2014 burglary conviction. Thus began Barbara’s journey for truth and justice. The film documents her determined and courageous quest to find out what happened to her son. In her pursuit for justice she quickly runs into the resistance of the Gregory Ahern’s Sheriff’s Department and begins to learn of the opaque and powerful position of American sheriffs. The audience travels with her to the Board of Supervisors, the jail, the cemetery where Dujuan is buried, and one climatic confrontation with the sheriff himself.
Lucas Guilkey is a video journalist based in Oakland. His work focuses on important social issues from mass incarceration to climate change, and from budget cuts to reproductive healthcare. He is working on a feature documentary about what is the largest prisoner hunger strike in U.S. history, which took place in California in 2011 and 2013.
After the film there will be a panel with the filmaker Luca Guilkey and members of the Audit Ahern Coalition. Learn about what is happening in the local county jail, and what you can do to change it.
This is a benefit for the Audit Ahern Coalition and the family of Dujuan Armstrong. Donations will be accepted on a sliding scale, all are welcome.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. join us for desserts and refreshments.
Film starts promptly at 7:45.
This event is sponsored by The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, The Audit Ahern Coalition and the Ella Baker Partnership Team at the First Unitarian Church of Oakland.

“Dolores” Documentary Night Screening
Sep 3 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Dolores Huerta is among the most important, yet least known, activists in American history. An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Dolores tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century—and she continues the fight to this day, at 87. With intimate and unprecedented access to this intensely private mother to eleven, the film reveals the raw, personal stakes involved in committing one’s life to social change. Directed by Peter Bratt.
After film discussion led by Vylma V. Ortiz

DSA Socialist Night School: DSA Debates the Democratic Candidates @ East Bay Community Space
Sep 3 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

There’s a large field of candidates vying for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination this election. The result has been a series of presidential debates that are often messy, occasionally entertaining, and only rarely informative. Fed up with the hypocritical grandstanding and “gotcha” questions? Wondering what to say about the centrist attacks on Medicare for All, or the corporate-friendly politicians who are now posing as champions of the working class? Join East Bay DSA on Tuesday, September 3 for a special edition of Socialist Night School, where we’ll screen and “debate” clips from the Democratic debates.
