RSVP now: Join us tomorrow (5/4) for an exclusive film screening on America's misdemeanor problem

Misdemeanors comprise approximately 80% of all arrests in America and often become the gateway to the violent policing we are seeing.

Dear MoveOn member,

Join us tomorrow, May 4, at noon ET for an exclusive livestream screening of Racially Charged: America's Misdemeanor Problem, the latest production from Brave New Films. 

Narrated by Oscar winner Mahershala Ali, the film uncovers the history of racial inequality in our criminal justice system, dating back to Reconstruction, which charges 13 million Americans a year, mostly poor, Black, and brown, with misdemeanors. Misdemeanors comprise approximately 80% of all arrests in America and often become the gateway to the violent policing we are seeing.

Through first-person accounts of those charged under the Black Codes of the Reconstruction era, paralleled with the outrageous stories of people trapped in the system today, the film brings to light the unfolding of a powerful engine of profits and racial inequality. With the emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement, this film provides historical context and examines America's history of racial oppression.

Tomorrow's livestream will be feature special guests, including Representative Karen Bass (CA-37), MoveOn Executive Director Rahna Epting, and Color of Change Executive Director Rashad Robinson.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow at noon ET!

Thanks for all you do.
