SUMMARY:CCDP Movie Night - April 2025
DESCRIPTION:This month\, we’re screening THE BRAINWASHING OF MY DAD by Jen Senko. \n\n\n\nTHE BRAINWASHING OF MY DAD pulls back the curtain on one of the most successful propaganda campaigns in American history—how right-wing media transformed not only the nation’s political landscape but the personality of one ordinary man. What began as a daughter’s quest to understand how her once easygoing\, apolitical father became an angry right-wing devotee unearthed a far-reaching phenomenon affecting millions of families and friendships now fractured by right-wing radicalization. The film traces the intentional rise of a right-wing media machine—backed by libertarian billionaires\, conservative think tanks\, and political operatives—designed to manipulate public opinion\, sow division\, and shift the political center to the far right. With deep historical context and intimate storytelling\, the film exposes the hidden forces behind the decades-long campaign to pave the way for oligarchic rule at the expense of democracy itself. \n\n\n\nCome grab a bag of popcorn\, watch the movie with us\, and join in the discussion afterward. It’s sure to be an interesting evening.

SUMMARY:DWCC Book Club - April 2025
DESCRIPTION:What we’re reading and discussing this month: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Fascism [is] the work of a woman who knows authoritarianism when she sees it. And she sees the seeds of it not only in a slew of leaders hell bent on subverting democratic norms—Turkey’s Erdogan\, Venezuela’s Maduro\, Hungary’s Orbán\, and others—but also in Donald Trump\, whom she calls in the book ‘the first antidemocratic president in modern U.S. history.’” — The Daily Beast \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMessage from DWCC Book Club Chair\, Renee Bumbaugh: \n\n\n\n\nThis month’s book is “Fascism: A Warning” by the late Madeline Albright. Written during Donald Trump’s first “reign\,” it was the Secretary of State’s effort to inform us of what she had experienced firsthand while growing up in Eastern Europe. Katie and Carol will lead us in this very timely discussion.You are welcome to bring a small appetizer\, and Charlotte will prepare a simple dessert.  Thank you\, and see you on the 29th.  \nRenée

SUMMARY:May Day Strong - Nationwide Day of Action
DESCRIPTION:On May Day 2025\, across the country—from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago\, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—working people are rising up. We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits\, healthcare over hedge funds\, housing over homelessness. \n\n\n\nMusk\, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages\, on benefits\, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights\, break our unions\, and silence immigrant voices. \n\n\n\nMay Day 2025 we are standing united. We’re organizing for a world where every family has housing\, healthcare\, fair wages\, union protection\, and safety—regardless of race\, zip code\, or immigration status. \n\n\n\nThey’re defunding our schools\, privatizing public services\, attacking unions\, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. This is a war on working people—and we will not stand down. Using the principles of nonviolence and peaceful protest\, we will stand together and stand strong. \n\n\n\nThis May Day\, we will turn the page. This is the beginning of a new era—one where working families lead\, immigrants are protected\, and no one is left behind. This is not charity. This is not a request. We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites\, and we will not be intimidated by Trump\, Musk\, or their billionaire backers. They’ve ruled for too long. Their time is up. \n\n\n\nSTOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER. WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW. THIS IS MAY DAY. JOIN US.

How do we know you’re going to continue the fight? Because that is who you are at your core.

You’ve earned it. So come hang out with us at FRANKS\, FREEDOM\, & FUN. Bring your children\, grandchildren\, and great grandchildren if you’re lucky enough to have them and have them live nearby. This is a child-friendly event.We’ll feed ya\, listen to music\, visit with each other\, and have plenty of games — including water games — available for kids of all ages from 3 to 93!
