Rome, Open City: Film & Discussion, May 11

http://org.salsalabs.com/o/1170/c/4354/images/5-11-18RomeOpenCity_film.jpg

This landmark film of Italian neo-realism was made in 1945, and is often cited as one the greatest films ever made. Roberto Rossellini's portrait of life under the Nazi occupation remains remarkable for its sheer immediacy, tension and power. Stay for discussion after the film with Edmondo Lupieri, Professor with an Endowed Chair in Theology, Loyola University Chicago.

WHEN: Friday, May 11, 6:30-9:00 PM
WHERE: Evanston Civic Center, 2nd Fl, Rm 2404, 2100 Ridge Avenue, Evanston (https://maps.google.com/?q=2nd+Fl,+Rm+2404,+2100+Ridge+Avenue,+Evanston&entry=gmail&source=g)

May 1820 Faith Weekend: I Am My Brothers Keeper ~ The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!

A letter (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ekj19us4PIf1J%2BBBiq6kygXU%2BVX2jc44) from the RefuseFascism.org Faith Task Force was posted this week: Between May 1820, religious communities around this country will be observing a Faith Weekend based on the theme: I Am My Brothers Keeper ~ The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!

The letter puts a challenge to religious communities to not stand on the sidelines in the face of the injustices and atrocities being perpetrated by the Trump/Pence regime. Read and sign this letter (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=dV0Zigw9glkg5GY9ppNtEwXU%2BVX2jc44), share it with your faith congregation and leaders, and make plans for marking that day.
