Friday March 6th at the Topanga Library.  
Snack Pot Luck at 7:15, Presentation 7:30.
For those of you who attended the January film night, we are happy to report that the heating has been fixed and we had a very comfortable February film night last month.

Our extraordinary March film night will include multiple short documentary videos and presentations highlighting the dangers of nuclear power plants and especially the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant near San Luis Obispo, CA.  We will see and hear nationally recognized experts including Naomi Klein, Harvey Wasserman, and Dan Hirsch (amongst others) explain how unsafe these plants are, and specifically the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant, operated by Pacific Gas and Electric.  Myla Reson will be our presenter and facilitate the discussions.  Myla has worked for Citizens for Alternatives to Radioactive Dumping (CARD), and Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety (CCNS).  She worked with others to successfully shut down Edison’s San Onofre nuclear power plant and is now working with a coalition of activists and organizations to shut down Diablo Canyon power plant.

If you are “on the fence” about nuclear power, we especially want to invite you to join the discussion as well as hear world renowned scientists describe the dangers and poor safety records of these plants.

There will be flyers passed out that include multiple easy actions you can take to help make our world safer.  We have a real opportunity to shut down Diablo Canyon if we act now.  Let’s do it!

The Topanga Peace Alliance will host this event on Friday, March 6, at the Topanga Library, 122 North Topanga Canyon Blvd., 90290.

We will have a vegetarian snack potluck (no alcohol) at 7:15 p.m. with the film screening at 7:30 p.m.  If you can, please bring a non-alcoholic beverage, cheese, dip, fruit or crackers to share.  A $10 donation is requested, but no one is turned away for lack of funds.

*The event is ADA compliant with elevator access and headphones for those who need a little extra volume.

PAY 2 PLAY follows filmmaker John Ennis’ quest to find a way out from under the Pay 2 Play System, where Politicians reward their donors with even larger sums from the public treasury — through contracts, tax cuts, and deregulation. Along the way, he journeys through high drama on the Ohio campaign trail, uncovers the secret history of the game Monopoly, and explores the underworld of L.A. street art on a humorous odyssey that reveals how much of a difference one person can make. PAY 2 PLAY: Democracy’s High Stakes is the layman’s guidebook to taking back our democracy.

It is a very important time in the context of our movement earlier this week David Cobb, also of the Move to Amend National Leadership Team debated Jams Bopp who argued the Citizens United case before the Supreme Court, today the senate failed to pass SJR 19 and Move to Amend’s Pledge to Amend 2014 campaign is in full swing seeking to get elected officials on record as to whether they support the “We The People” amendment.  READ MORE
