"Welcome to São Paulo, Brazil, in the not too distant future. Water is scarce, garbage clogs the city, movement is restricted, and the System--sinister, omnipotent, secret--rules its subjects' every movement."

And Still the Earth is a classic novel of a world ravaged by climate change, a novel that poses challenges to all of us in today's world.

Documentary film showing and discussion
Friday, May 6, 7 pm
Revolution Books
1103 N Ashland 

This award-winning documentary premiered just a few months ago at Sundance. It exposes the attacks on women's right to abortion posed by laws in states around the country. "TRAP" laws (targeted regulation of abortion providers) impose outrageous demands on abortion clinic operators. Meet the heroic people who risk their lives so women can access abortion services. Without the right to abortion and birth control services, women can't control when and if they have children and are literally enslaved to their reproduction.

We want to thank UltraViolet and the filmmakers for making this screening possible. Please share this event on Facebook and join us Friday!
