***PLEASE JOIN US FOR FREE SCREENINGS of the PCAP FILM and DARK DAYS***
On Wednesday, July 30th, PCAP and OPIRG will be presenting the 'A Video History of PCAP' alongside 'Dark Days' as part of OPIRG's summer documentary series.
The films start at 7:00 sharp in the Sadleir House lecture hall (the large, red Victorian building at 750 George st. North).
Through these films we hope to spark discussions around housing issues, so we will be focusing on the sections of the PCAP film that show the squat. Dark Days is a film that documents a group poor people who build a community in an abandoned section of the New York City underground railway system. During filming, Amtrak, a government-owned corporation that provides intercity passenger train service, announced their plans to forcibly evict the people living in the tunnels. Dark Days shatters myths about homelessness by revealing a thriving community, the power of poor people to struggle for survival, and the corporate interests and government policies which create – and can eliminate – poverty.
*All are welcome to join us in this accessible space, and their will be FREE organic POPCORN for your enjoyment!*
***Please Note that the weekly meeting in the PCAP office will be canceled on this day!***
