“We Cried Power” screenings
Together with Poor People's Campaign organizers around the country, we have had more than 70 work-in-progress screenings around the country around MLK Day (January 20, 2020), of a special 45-minute version of the film, geared toward organizing.
In light of the global pandemic, we have shifted to virtual screenings of the film to use in organizing a movement to change our society and put life before profit. Please join us! Sign up to host a screening here.
