Watch a movie, save democracy

On March 27th and 28th, MoveOn members are organizing movie parties to watch Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story. Can you host a movie party in Inwood?

Host a party
Dear MoveOn member,

Next weekend, MoveOn members across the country are gathering to watch Michael Moore's latest movie and kick off our big new campaign to stop the corporate takeover of our democracy.

Capitalism: A Love Story is a funny and powerful film about corporate power in America, and a nationwide movie night is a great occasion to get together with other progressives in your community.

MoveOn members love to get together for movie nights like this one. Hundreds of movie parties have already been set up around the country, but we are still looking for hosts in Inwood. It's easy to host a movie party, and we'll tell you everything you need to know. Click here if you can help out:

In addition to great fun, these movie parties will also really help make a difference to stop corporations from taking over democracy.

We've seen time and again this year that even with Barack Obama in the White House and big Democratic majorities in Congress, big corporations too often are still calling the shots. From the bank bailout to the energy bill to the public health insurance option, the big lobbyists and corporations got their way, and the voice of the people was drowned out.

And after the Supreme Court legalized unlimited political spending by big corporations, it'll get even worse.

That's why now is the perfect time to bring people together for a movie party that will be fun and important too. Can you host a movie party in Inwood?
