Description:

Honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday and support voting rights by attending a viewing and discussion of Greg Palast's documentary, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy: A Tale of Billionaires and Ballot Bandits. Investigative reporter Greg Palast exposes the new Ku Klux Klan - the billionaire bandits that are behind the successful scheme to suppress millions of votes by people of color. Greg Palast will be present to discuss his film and book and strategies to combat the coordinated attacks on democracy and denial of the constitutional right to vote.

The environment for minority voting rights has not been this hostile since the end of Reconstruction. The orchestrated, systemic voter suppression schemes used to successfully disenfranchise millions of minority voters is the biggest untold story of the 2016 election.

Brought to you by the NAACP-National Voter Fund and The Civil Rights Law Center.

The film starts at 6:30 p.m. Discussion 8:15 p.m.
