Terrific idea!
Everyone should have the opportunity to see this film.
Not just those with HBO.

Last week, we emailed you to let you know about the premiere of Spike Lee's
Katrina documentary "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts."
Almost immediately, we received a huge (and unexpected) response from many of
our members - many thanked us and told us about their plans to watch the film.
But most told us they want to see the film but don't have HBO.
So, we came up with a plan: home viewings where ColorOfChange.org members who
have HBO can share the film with those who don't. And we've partnered with
MoveOn.org to make it happen. Click the link below to host or attend a viewing
party near you.

Are you an HBO subscriber?
Those of you who've seen the film can attest to its power and importance.
Hosting a viewing would be a great gift to those in your neighborhood who don't
have HBO. By serving as a host, you provide a huge service and help us build
and support the ColorOfChange.org community. It takes only a few minutes to
sign up: you specify the number of people you want to invite, the day and time
you want to have the screening, and a few other details. (HBO is replaying the
film through September. You can pick a time from the schedule, record it to
show later, or play it "on-demand").

Don't have HBO?
Many of us (including the ColorofChange.org staff) don't have HBO. But that
shouldn't stand in the way of seeing this important film. Attending a viewing
party is a great way to meet other ColorOfChange.org members and to get a
chance to see this amazing film. Click on the link below to check for viewing
parties nearest you. Don't worry if no parties have been created--you may have
beaten the hosts to the punch. Just check back in a few days after more
viewings have been scheduled.

"When the Levees Broke" is an important film that everyone should see. Spike
Lee tells the story of Katrina and its aftermath through the eyes of those who
survived it, most of whom are still trying to put their lives back
together--not through the tinted lense of the media or government talking
heads. Plenty of ground is covered, but one point becomes extremely clear: the
real catastrophe of Katrina was not created by Mother Nature; it was created by
people--through neglect, politics and incompetence. It didn't just start right
after Katrina; it was years and years in the making. And it continues today,
largely because we allow it.
Together we can create change, but a critical first step is bearing witness to
what has taken place, on our watch, and in our name. Only then can we fully
appreciate what's at stake, the consequences of our inaction, and realize the
hope that's created when we do act. Lee's film give us an opportunity. We hope
you will join us in sharing in the experience.
