Film: Citizen Koch at GLEC
Citizen Koch, A film by:CARL DEAL & LIA LESSIN, 7pm at GLEC.
Refreshments and free child care provided. Discussion afterwards.
Citizen Koch tells the story of the 2012 citizen uprising to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and its collision with the Tea Party-aligned “Americans for Prosperity,” a group founded and lavishly financed by two of the world’s richest men —David and Charles Koch. As Republican working class voters find themselves in the crosshairs of their own party and its billionaire backers, they are forced to choose sides.
*Discussion will be led by Peter Lems of the American Friends Service committee (AFSC). Peter will introduce us to AFSC’s Governing Under the Influence Program, an education and action program designed to bring the power of government back into the hands of the people.
