@organizingisthenewcool is a documentary film my family’s organization, Siafu Movement, has filmed, produced and been directing for more than a decade now. The film is a collective brainstorming of what, if anything, we can do to encourage greater activism among people in their respective Atlanta communities and beyond. The film highlight’s our organization’s collective mobilization in the streets of Atlanta to provide Food, Clothing, Shelter and Justice for All through a displaced outreach program called “Feed The People”, Siafu Youth Corps (an urban rights of passage program free for children 12 to 18), Poets for Political Prisoners, Urban Survival Preparedness Institute, and Community Movement Builders’s Food Justice Program (which is what I volunteer doing- teaching urban growing, sustainability, incorporating healthy food habits on a budget, and bringing a farmer’s market stand to a Pittsburgh Neighborhood apartment complex for the elderly and disabled). Organizing is the New Cool canvasses many faces of activism that are making an impact today, and some older unsung heroes utilizing interviews and unscripted footage to provide a multilayered depiction of this new brand of activism encouraged by us filmmakers.
If any Local Guides decide to buy tickets please let me know so we can sit near each other and/or mix and mingle at the FREE art show immediately following the film screening’s Q & A.
Hi @ejaearth good on you for starting to organise a meetup, you should also make a meetup entry here https://maps.google.com/localguides/meetup so that important details like location, time and date and a description of your proposed Meetup are known to everyone who might like to come along.
@PaulPavlinovich , I can’t view the document “How to Organise a Meet-up”. I get an error message saying I don’t have “sufficient privilege” to view it. But I’m figuring it out. Thanks
Oh Kathy, I’m trying to get to where you are. I have so many comrades around Colorado. Two are a husband/wife hip hop duo, The Reminders (Same and Aja), and another is an artist- tribal tatoos, pottery, murals, named Faatma Memeresh. Not that you’d know them, I’m just saying. When I make it to visit them, I hope to have another homie to visit! Thanks for connecting!
