Barnett [reelandmealatnewdealcafe@gmail.com] wants you to attend the Reel and
Meal on Mon., May 19 at 6:30 PM ET the hybrid showing of Singing for Justice:
The Faith Petric Story (1915-2013). She was a radical voice that shaped a century of
American activism. Arrive/Log
on by 6:15 PM. The showing will be at the New Deal Café at 113 Centerway

Faith
Petric used folk music to inspire action and solidarity at civil rights
marches, anti-war protests, and events supporting labor and LGBTQ+ rights.
"In times of darkness, Faith showed that a well-sung song could light the
way forward," says Estelle Freedman, director of the film, who will attend
the screening on Zoom. DC Labor Chorus Director Elise Bryant will
lead the post-film discussion. The program also includes a special
performance by the acclaimed D.C. Labor Chorus.
The Reel

On Mon., May 19 at 7 PM at the United
Methodist Building, 100 Maryland Ave. NE, WDC, you are invited to gather in the spirit of justice and moral
witness for a powerful National Sermon. Come together for "Moral Courage in
a Time of Crisis", a prophetic word from Bishop William J. Barber II.
Visit https://secure.everyaction.com/ApnxbEa9U0yff72sWvsAjw2
This
gathering is more than a sermon—it is a sacred summons to all who refuse to be
silent in the face of an immoral federal budget. Clergy, community leaders, and
moral witnesses are encouraged to attend and anchor the resistance in faith,
deepen the commitment to justice, and prepare for action. Come, be renewed in
purpose, trained in truth, and united in the call to repair what greed and
injustice have broken. A livestream is available at www.breachrepairers.org.

World
BEYOND War [info@worldbeyondwar.org] on Mon., May 19 at 7 PM wants you to hear
from victims of military domestic violence at Busboys and Poets, 2021 14th St.
NW, WDC. They are part of the Yellow Ribbon Casualty Campaign in D.C. to
pressure Congress for action. The U.S.
military has a domestic violence problem. It is widespread. It is deadly. It is not new or secret. Decades
of studies, plans, and internal policies have done nothing to reduce it. The
Pentagon has long known about the significantly increased risk of domestic
violence by combat-exposed troops, yet has failed to properly inform military
members or their families, and has violated laws mandating reporting on the
problem. RSVP here!
