Screening of the Documentary "Patriocracy"

As the 2012 presidential campaign heats up, poisonous rhetoric and negative ads are at an all-time high. Can we move beyond polarization and restore civility and functionality to American democracy?


Enjoy a screening and discussion of Patriocracy, a documentary by Brian Malone that drills down to the roots of political polarization and offers solutions to move beyond it.


Attendees will have the opportunity to register to vote during the screening and discussion. Bring two pieces of identification (at least one must show your current address).
