Screening at Universalist Church, Rocky River, Ohio, brings organizers together, April 04, 09

We showed The Water Front last night. One of the best parts of the evening was our "Coffee and Conversation" time that was spent after the film, where folks got to stand around and connect with one another. I had invited a local community organizer named Travelle Harp, who is working with the City of East Cleveland, a community which faced (and is still facing) many of the same problems as Highland Park. I also invited Art Dorland, who helped organize the Iraq Water Project, a program funded by Veterans for Peace (of which we are both members) which seeks to provide water purification equipment to Iraqi hospitals and other communities which have been devasted by war.
