Sunday, November 27, Noon. Rally to Support Occupy Augusta

Capitol Park, Augusta Maine

The Capitol Police have told Occupy Augusta--either get a permit with a very limited number of daytime only structures or the encampment will be closed on Monday, Nov. 28.

Other actions may be planned on Sunday in addition to the Rally. Please come to support those as well.

A temporary restraining order will be filed by lawyers on Occupy Augusta's behalf on Monday. I don't have a lot of details beyond this, but email me if you can attend and need more information. I'll try to help.

Wednesday, November 30, 7 p.m. documentary “Inside Job”

First Universalist Church, 345 Broadway, Rockland Maine

Broadway/Route 1A runs between Route 1 and Route 17. The First Universalist Church is across from the former MacDougal School. Parking and entrance are in back of the church.

Inside Job is a 2010 documentary film about the late-2000s financial crisis directed by Charles H. Ferguson. The film is described by Ferguson as being about “the systemic corruption of the United States by the financial services industry and the consequences of that systemic corruption.” In five parts, the film explores how changes in the policy environment and banking practices helped create the financial crisis. Inside Job was called “a masterpiece of investigative non-fiction moviemaking” by the Boston Globe and described by the New York Times as “hard to imagine a movie more serious and more urgent.”

The film was screened at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival in May and won the 2010 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

This Midcoast Peace and Justice Group Program is free and open to all. Refreshments will also be served. For more information email Steve or call 691-0322.
