[Green] Youth v. Gov film - OK if we sign on as host for a virtual screening?

[Adeline Bailey]

Hello, all,

*I need a quick response on this. *I signed up for a virtual screening 
of a documentary film offered through Interfaith Power & Light, which is 
free to faith communities to hold a group screening for their 
congregations. However, I was intending it for MOVCA, and for letting 
them invite us to join them. I got an email today from IPL indicating 
that the agreement between IPL and the filmmakers does not extend to 
community groups. So how about we host the screening? I think we can 
invite friends (such as people in MOVCA) to join FUUSM (a faith 
community) for a virtual screening.

My request to do a virtual group screening of the film was confirmed 
earlier, and we have a date set: April 21, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. to stream 
the film on Zoom. I'd like the committee to approve GSC hosting the 
event, which is already lined up with the "registration in advance" 
stipulation required by IPL and the filmmakers, and Eric Engle on tap to 
host the discussion after the film. *All we have to do is announce 
ourselves as a hosting group from our congregation.
*

***Please say yes to our doing that! *With majority approval, I will 
send the invite to our whole congregation via proper email list, and 
then invite our friends to join us.

*Please let me know ASAP, today/tonight if possible.*

Thanks,

Adeline

FYI, here's a synopsis of the film:

YOUTH v GOV is the story of America’s youth taking on the world’s most 
powerful government. Armed with a wealth of evidence, twenty-one 
courageous leaders file a ground-breaking lawsuit against the U.S. 
government, asserting it has willfully acted over six decades to create 
the climate crisis, thus endangering their constitutional rights to 
life, liberty, and property. If these young people are successful, they 
will not only make history, they will change the future.
