You're invited to an exclusive film screening tomorrow!

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

Dear MoveOn member,

Join us tomorrow, July 20, at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT for an exclusive livestream screening of Racially Charged: America's Misdemeanor Problem, the latest production from Brave New Films. 

We'll be joined by Representative Karen Bass (CA-37), MoveOn Executive Director Rahna Epting, and Robert Greenwald, founder and president of Brave New Films, the organization that produced the film.

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 stage for acts of violent policing.

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 ongoing resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement, this film provides historical context and examines America's history of racial oppression.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow at 7 p.m. ET!

Thanks for all you do.
