26] – Reel and Meal presents “Rigged-The Voter Suppression Playbook” on Mon., Dec. 21 at 6:45 PM. Reel and Meal at the New Deal Cafe will virtually screen the provocative documentary at 7 PM. Registration is required – https://tinyurl.com/y2ky8cpk. This film will offer ways we can run interference on the playbook designed to protect and prop up the white patriarchy. Narrated by Jeffrey Wright, Rigged chronicles how our right to vote is being undercut by a decade of dirty tricks - including the partisan use of gerrymandering and voter purges, and the gutting of the Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court. The film captures real-time voter purges in North Carolina and voter intimidation in Texas. "Rigged shows how the right to vote is under attack from every direction, and we need to let people know about it," said executive producers Mac Heller and Timothy Smith. "Unless we act now and seek to protect and, yes, augment the right to vote, we will witness the slow bleed-out of our democracy."
As part of the monthly documentary series, Greenbelt's Co-op Grocery offers an optional vegan meal to Reel and Meal participants for $7.99. This month's menu features a generous slice of Dodah's Kitchen's Spinach Lasagna (layered with spinach and a tofu-soy cheese blend) along with a fresh field green salad with carrots, and cherry tomatoes. Phone in your pre-order to the deli at 301.474.0522 by 1 PM on Monday for pick-up between 4 and 7 PM at the deli. Depending on demand, there may be dinners on a walk-in basis if not preordered.
Reel and Meal, a monthly film series focused on environmental, social justice and animal rights issues, is organized by Beaverdam Creek Watershed Watch Group, Green Vegan Networking, Utopia Film Festival & the Prince George's County Peace & Justice Coalition. On the third Monday of every month there is a film and discussion. You are encouraged to enjoy a vegan meal to support an environmental, social justice and animal rights mission. See https://www.newdealcafe.com/events/reel-and-meal/. Contact Cam MacQueen of Green Vegan Networking at theblockoffbiltmore39@gmail.com.

30] – Writing letters to Santa is a beloved tradition for many children across the globe. But we don’t have to forego the tradition just because we’re adults. In fact, writing letters might be one of the best things we can do this season. Join CCAN Action Fund on Tues., Dec. 22 at 7 PM for a special Holiday letter writing party where, instead of Santa, write letters to Maryland legislators in support of the Climate Solutions Now Act. This bill will commit Maryland to net zero carbon emissions by 2045, make major changes to the way we approach climate justice in our plans, and take several other immediate actions. You will need a pen, paper, up to four envelopes depending on the number of State legislators you have and up to four stamps for each of your Maryland State legislators.
CCAN will answer any questions you have, and will help in writing the first letter. Then CCAN will write the rest of the letters while watching The Year Without a Santa Claus, a 1974 Christmas stop motion animated movie about an unseasonably warm Christmas - something climate activists will be sure to find relatable.
