Advocate for Your Neighbors!
 Cutting refugee admittance in 2020 - The Trump Administration is considering slashing refugee admissions to zero in 2020. The National Council of Churches and Church World Service have issued a letter that faith leaders and organizations can sign onto calling for the government to reject this proposal and accept 95,000 refugees instead. Click here to sign as a member of Keystone UCC, and share with others in your email and social media networks. Signatures are due by Monday, August 12. Federal: SNAP Rule Changes - The Trump administration is working to end SNAP benefits for three million people by restricting eligibility for people earning over 130% of the federal poverty level and preventing states from automatically enrolling residents who receive other benefits. As with other proposed rule changes, we have 60 days to provide comments against this proposal, and each comment must be unique. You can submit a comment at regulations.gov, indicating how this policy would cause more hunger in our communities, especially for working families, children, and senior citizens. Deadline for comments is September 23.

Film: REVERSING ROE
(1 hour, 39 minutes; Annie Sundberg and Ricki Stern, 2016)
Friday, August 2; Doors open at 6:30 p.m.; movie starts at 7 p.m.
@ Keystone UCC (downstairs in Battson Hall)
Forty-five years after it revolutionized abortion law in America, the landmark 1973 US Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade is once again at a crossroads. In their timely new documentary “Reversing Roe,” filmmakers Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg present a deeply illuminating look of the state of abortion and women’s rights in America. The film offers candid and riveting interviews with key figures from both sides of the divide, among them doctors Colleen McNicholas and Curtis Boyd; feminist icon Gloria Steinem; Operation Rescue president Troy Newman; and National Right to Life president Carol Tobias.
Intense and unflinching in its commitment to telling the whole story, “Reversing Roe” provides a gripping look at what’s happening on the ground in 2018. Drawing from a wealth of historical footage, it charts the period leading up to the Roe decision—and documents the opposition that has followed ever since.
Regardless of where you stand on the issue of abortion, “Reversing Roe” is essential viewing to understand how the country got here—and where it may be going.
Official trailer: https://www.netflix.com/title/80192834
** All events are Open to the Public. Admission is by Donation **
We help communities organize, educate, advocate & build community around social justice documentary film and conversation.
