We cordially invite you to an inspiring night that includes a screening of the film along with a discussion with local students and organizers. Dinner from a local restaurant, Veg on the Edge, will kick off the event! Spaces are limited, so RSVP today!

American Agitators explores the remarkable life of Fred Ross, Sr. and a legacy of organizing that thrives today. Generations of organizers and activists, including Dolores Huerta and many others who are featured in American Agitators, stand on the shoulders of Ross and his innovative organizing tactics. The documentary demonstrates the efficacy of member-led movements built through patience and by listening.

“Bringing Fred’s life to the screen is the medicine our society needs right now. He empowered people to be engaged in the democratic process.” - Dolores Huerta, February 2022
 

The screening will be followed by a community discussion.
