Katie Fahey is a force, and she will be traveling to San Diego tomorrow to attend the screening & Q&A.  Variety Magazine said of the film "There is no issue more threatening to the future of American democracy than gerrymandering---this incisive and stirring new documentary about it feels like a moral game-changer.

As you may know Angela invites young women of color from the local high schools, colleges, and community organizations to attend as guests. Last year we budgeted for 60 students and had 100 apply. Angela let them all attend and personally absorbed the extra cost. This year she's asking for help. If you are in a position to make a donation even if you can not attend, please do so here:
