How do we support the voices who speak truth to power in our communities? How do we engage communities and individuals in the fight to preserve and strengthen our democracy? How do we strengthen the progressive voices in Congress and in state legislatures across the country?
One answer to those questions is by sharing the award-winning film, Barbara Lee: Speaking Truth to Power widely so that others can be inspired by her integrity. We are currently in a time where we need to focus on the racial and economic justice issues that are plaguing our communities. Our campaign to push this film out to educational institutions, community centers, virtual screenings and social justice partners is just the beginning of this effort to continue the movement that Speaking Truth to Power represents for our future.
Today, Barbara Lee is the highest-ranking African American woman in the United States Congress. She has been at the forefront of the effort to preserve reproductive rights for women by helping to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act, which codifies Roe v. Wade and the right to safe, legal abortions in the House and is now before the Senate. Barbara Lee has also been fighting to enact the Build Back Better bill and is on the front lines of fighting to preserve voting rights across the country. If Barbara Lee Speaks for You, then please help us expand the reach of her voice and her story.
We are thrilled to have already partnered with several platforms, organizations, and initiatives including STARZ’ #Takethelead, which is STARZ's commitment to amplifying narratives by, about and for women and underrepresented audiences. It is their hope and ours that this commitment to bold, unapologetic stories and characters, will inspire others. This partnership will include a series of “Transparency Talks” which will kick-off in January 2022. Speaking Truth to Power will be broadcast on STARZ in early February, 2022 as a part of their BLACK HISTORY MONTH programming.
Please join us in expanding the impact of the film with a tax-deductible donation. We need your help in order for the film to reach new audiences and create new opportunities to make all of our voices heard by encouraging everyone who is Speaking Truth to Power!
All donors will be recognized on the film’s website.
