The documentary film tells the story of Chris Buckley, a veteran and a former KKK leader, as he overcomes his antipathy toward Muslims and becomes an advocate for friendship and harmony among all people, echoing King’s words: “I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” Daryl Johnson, an expert on domestic extremism with more than twenty-five years’ experience tracking radicalized groups for the US government, will lead the after-film discussion. His 2019 book, Hateland, dissects expanding forms of American hatred and radicalization, explains how extremists on both the far right and the far left use the same recruitment and radicalization techniques, and tells stories of individuals who reevaluated their extremist convictions and became deradicalized.

The Baltimore-based family empire of right-wing TV mogul David Smith destroys the local Baltimore economy, discriminates against people of color, and through its network of hundreds of local affiliates broadcasts lies and misinformation that undermine our democracy! At pop-up demonstrations, boycott of all properties owned by the David Smith family business empire, including the following: David Smith's Sinclair broadcasting group, the nation's second largest owner of local Fox affiliates. The Smith family's Atlas group of overpriced tourist restaurants that have been accused of back-room corruption, destroying the local restaurant scene, gentrification and racial discrimination. David Smith's Baltimore Sun, which has turned the city's once-proud paper of record into a mouthpiece for Smith's culture war and right-wing propaganda. David Smith's MileOne Autogroup, including 67 dealerships and 8 body shops in 5 states.
25] – Join the Baltimore Nonviolence Center on Tues., Jan. 20 from 4:30 to 5 PM ET at 33rd and N. Charles Sts. to challenge President Trump for a long list of illegal executive orders. And now he has invaded Venezuela. Without resistance Trump will undermine our flawed democracy. Right now Trump wants fascism as the order of the day. This Tuesday will be exceedingly cold. Contact Max to confirm that the vigil will occur at mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net or 410-323-1607.
26] – Sun Day [reply@sunday.earth] on Tues., Jan. 20 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM and Thurs., Jan. 22 from 7 to 9 PM ET is asking you to make calls for Clean Energy. Sun Day showed us the incredible power of coming together to celebrate clean energy. Now, it's time to channel that energy into action that gets more solar and wind projects built in communities across the country. Greenlight America is calling clean energy supporters in key locations and encouraging them to take action to get projects permitted where they live. On these phone banks, volunteers will encourage supporters to testify at hearings, submit public comments or contact decision makers to build wind and solar projects. The next call will be on Jan. 20 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM and the calls will continue through Jan. 96, 2026, 7 to 9 PM. RSVP to phone bank at https://www.mobilize.us/greenlightaction/event/842120/?utm_source=SunDay&link_id=1&can_id=4b9d4061aec5469758759317ac0f5285&email_referrer=email_2960084___subject_3458067&email_subject=make-calls-for-clean-energy&
