Unconstitutional: Another Look at the Impact of the Patriot Act
The American Civil Liberties Union of the National Capital Area invites you to a screening of "Unconstitutional" -- written, directed and produced by Nonny de la Pena.
"This documentary provides an in-depth look at what has happened to constitutional liberties under the Patriot Act. After viewing the film, many no doubt will openly question whether the act goes too far." Alberta Phillips, columnist for the Austin American-Statesman.
A Q&A panel will follow the screening. Special guests will include de la Pena; Dalia Hashad, Arab, Muslim and South Asian advocate, ACLU; and Dr. James Zogby, founder and president of the Arab American Institute.
The screening is Wednesday, Sept. 29, at 6:30 p.m., at 1200 New York Ave. NW (enter at 12th and H Streets). The evening is free but seating is limited, so please RSVP to Beverly@aclu-nca.org. Find out more at www.aclu.org/unconstitutional.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
