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


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.
