The newly formed $$$ Out! People In! Coalition invites the general public to a free documentary afternoon at the Lafayette Library Community Room on Sunday, April 7 from 12:30-2:30. (Doors open at 12 noon.) The award-winning documentary Pricele$$ will be shown as well as How Big Money Rule$ the U$A – an impactful presentation followed by a live Q and A Skype session both led
by Lawrence Lessig, well known Harvard Law Professor and founder of RootStrikers. As stated in the New York Times, ā€œMr. Lessig’s analysis of the distorting effects of money is dead on.ā€ RSVP’s are appreciated but not required. Email MoneyOutPeopleIn@yahoo.com.

All are invited to visit the tables of the founding groups that include: Central Contra Costa MoveOn (the coordinating group), Tri-Valley MoveOn, Common Cause, League of Women Voters of Diablo Valley, RootStrikers, Move to Amend, the Brady Campaign and the Mt. Diablo Peace and Justice Center.

$$$ Out! People In! was begun in January, 2013 after a meeting led by the Central Contra Costa MoveOn and Tri-Valley MoveOn chapters. Their members were appalled at the huge amount of money spent in the 2012 campaigns and the impact of the donors on the direction of our country. $$$ Out! People In! has taken off since that meeting.
