Join us to see the award winning film “Selma” at our watch party — and help build the community of resistance that will carry us forward in the next four years.

This movie is not recommended for young children; however we will have food and activities outside the theater for kids and families. All ages are welcome and encouraged.

The Nanci For Berkeley campaign showed that the power of the people is real in Berkeley and in the world. In just a few short months, we helped to change to political and social conversation in Berkeley politics. We also helped to unseat an incumbent whose policies did not reflect our neighborhood values, and use the ranked choice voting strategy to help elect Cheryl Davila, a progressive activist who is currently the only council voice saying no to militarization of the Berkeley police.

PEACE Out Loud is a neighborhood Social Permaculture project dedicated to being in community. We know that our liberation must be collective if it is to happen at all. We host classes, camps, workshops and events for joy and freedom.

Here’s why you should come:

More than forty years after the Selma march, the voting rights Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights activists fought for and won back then are under attack from Republican governors across the country — and Trump is indicating that he wants to make things worse.

At this critical moment, the progressive left has much to learn from the movements that paved the way for this one. That’s why this March, DFA members are gathering to build community and energize for the resistance by screening Ava DuVernay’s 2015 film “SELMA.” Here’s the 2-minute trailer for Selma — check it out and then sign up to join us!

This event is hosted by the Nanci For Berkeley campaign and PEACE Out Loud. There is no cost for the event, but we do ask folks to make donations to help cover the cost of the venue, and we will be accepting donations for Democracy For America and local nonprofits.
