25] – Susan Barnett [reelandmealatnewdealcafe@gmail.com] indicates that on Mon., Aug. 21 at 7 PM ET, Reel and Meal will present in person and online via ZOOM "Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North" Reel and Meal is asking that you arrive or log-in by 6:45 PM. Come to the New Deal Café, 113 Centerway (Roosevelt Center), Greenbelt. Masks are encouraged. Registration is required at https://tinyurl.com/ReelNMealAUG21.
This film follows the journey of Katrina Browne as she discovers that although her 19th century ancestors lived in the North, they ran a major international slave-trading business. She and nine fellow descendants set off to visit family properties that had been involved in the Triangle Trade: from Rhode Island to slave forts in Ghana to sugar plantation ruins in Cuba. Step by step, they uncover the vast extent of Northern complicity in slavery while also stumbling through the minefield of contemporary race relations. "Traces of the Trade" offers powerful new perspectives on the black/white divide and was an official selection of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.
The film is hosted by the Greenbelt Bahá'í Community to encourage community conversation related to the work of the recently-appointed Greenbelt Reparations Commission. The 21-member Commission was appointed by the Greenbelt City Council after citizen approval by referendum in the November 2021 Greenbelt city elections. Audience members will be invited to share their reflections and ideas after the film.
A Plant-Based meal is encouraged to support a mission focused on environmental, social justice and animal rights issues. The New Deal Café serves a variety of plant-based meals. Online attendees can order a meal for takeout at the Café. Greenbelt’s Co-op Grocery also offers takeout Dodah’s Vegan Lasagna at the Deli Hot Bar. Order after 11 AM.
The Reel and Meal at the New Deal is a monthly film series focused on environmental, social justice and animal rights issues, presented by Utopia Film Festival, the Prince George’s County Peace and Justice Coalition and Beaverdam Creek Watershed Watch Group. For more information on the series, see the Reel and Meal Facebook page – https://www.facebook.com/reelandmealNDC or contact Jim Fischer at jfischer2@verizon.net.

28] – Join the virtual Letter to the Editor Party, hosted by Common Cause and related to the Moore v Harper case before the Supreme Court on Mon., Aug. 21 from 8 to 9 PM ET. On Tues., June 27, 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a victory for the voters. The decision keeps checks and balances in our election process—just as the founders intended. The court rejected the "independent state legislature" theory, which, if invoked, would have effectively given state legislatures unrestricted power over federal elections without any oversight from state courts. This ruling serves as a crucial safeguard, preventing unchecked power from taking away our right to vote. Courts around the nation can hold state lawmakers accountable when they pursue unfair and discriminatory voting maps and voter suppression tactics. This Party will also take place on Tues, Sept. 19 and Thurs., Oct. 19 from 8 to 9 PM ET. Learn how to use our easy-to-use tool to draft a short letter and automatically send it to your local papers and make your voice heard! Sign up at https://www.mobilize.us/dfadcoalition/event/418654/?followup_modal_context=organization_newsletter_custom_recommendations.
