On Sunday, Oct. 14 and Sunday, Oct. 21, Keystonecorralled two small but mighty crews to canvass all over Wallingford, educating our neighbors on I-1631, and encouraging all to vote! Our truth-tellers were met with many an inaccessible apartment building, but persisted nonetheless. BIG THANKS to our faithful leader, Rich Voget, for organizing both canvassing days!

The pop-up office will support volunteers to learn to canvass, and then send em out.

An Invitation from Seattle Labor Chorus
Come learn and sing songs of hope & justice!
Date: Saturday November 10
Time: 1:00 – 3:30pm
Location: Keystone UCC, 5019 Keystone Place N
What a tumultuous season we’ve been having! Are you glued to your screen when you’re not out door-knocking, rallying or writing emails to Congress?
Let’s get together the Saturday after Election Day, on November 10, to raise our voices together in great songs of hope, struggle & change. We’ll probably be both celebrating and commiserating. Join members of the Seattle Labor Chorus in an afternoon workshop learning and sharing songs of hope and justice. Led by Reed Fromer, keyboardist extraordinaire and chorus/workshop leader from northern California.
A suggested donation of $5 - $15 sliding scale is requested but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. There will be light refreshment during the break and afterward.
We encourage all of you to join us and add your voices to this marvelous music workshop on songs of protest and change.
Please RSVP to rebelvoz@aol.com so we can coordinate refreshments and possibly arrange for carpools and lyric sheets.

Film: DARK MONEY
(139 minutes; Kimberly Reed, 2018)
Friday, Nov. 2; Doors open at 6:30pm; Movie starts at 7:00pm
@ Keystone UCC (downstairs in Battson Hall)
“Dark Money” is a political thriller that examines one of the greatest present threats to American democracy: the influence of untraceable corporate money on our elections and elected officials. The film takes viewers to Montana—a frontline in the fight to preserve fair elections nationwide—to follow an intrepid local journalist working to expose the real-life impacts of the US Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. Through this gripping story, “Dark Money” uncovers the shocking and vital truth of how American elections are bought and sold. This Sundance award-winning documentary is directed/produced by Kimberly Reed (“Prodigal Sons”) and produced by Katy Chevigny (“E-Team”). We’ll have a community discussion after the film, with a guest speaker from Fix Democracy First. Special Guests: Fix Democracy First
** 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.
