Subject: CPIN: EVENT--America By The Numbers Film Screening and Community Conversation
Dear Service Providers,
This is an event THAT I REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD COME TO :) Please see the attached flyer for more information and I would love for you to forward it to your friends, family, and colleagues.
We are planning a screening of America By The Numbers. “America By The Numbers with Maria Hinojosa: Clarkston Georgia” explores what it takes to be inclusive, engaged and living in the “New America.” It is the story of a small town of 7,500 people that has gone from being 90% white in the 1980s to less than 14% white today. Located in the shadow of Stone Mountain, once a gathering place for Ku Klux Klan cross burnings, Clarkston today is home to thousands of refugees from Vietnam, Somalia, Iraq and Bhutan – along with some forty other countries. This special is an intimate look at how changing demographics are reshaping the political landscape of America. It premiered on PBS September 21 as a Need to Know Election 2012 Special Presentation.
I have seen it three times and I think it is such a great way to really show the growing pains and triumphs that a community can take when the demographics change.
WHEN: FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 2013
TIME: 3PM TO 5PM
WHERE: FIRST UNIVERSALIST--4101 E Hampden Ave Denver, CO 80222 (on the NE corner of Hampden and Colorado Blvd.)
THE EVENT IS FREE
We will have some munchies and something to drink. Bring your family members, friends, and colleagues.
This is a tremendous time for us to gather and talk, immigrants, refugees, and receiving community alike, about what type of community we want to be and ways that we can deal with some of the growing pains that it might take to get there.
