DESCRIPTION:he GTU Justice Collaborative is hosting a film preview and Poverty Truth 
 Commission hearing on poverty in Oakland on March 5. There will be an 
 informal networking and tabling hour beginning around 4:30pm. The formal 
 hearing starts at 5:30 with a Directorʼs cut preview from the forth-coming 
 film by Amir Soltani. Redemption tells the poignant, compelling stories of 
 several people who earn their living recycling out of the recycling center 
 in West Oakland, and the intricate perceptions and interdependence of their 
 community, which is a part of our community. After the film, the audience 
 will have a chance to hear from the filmmaker about his insights and 
 experiences making the film. Then, we will turn to testimonies about the 
 experience of poverty from those who recycle for a living, as well as from 
 grassroots organizations that work regularly with the recycling community. 
 A reception will follow at 8 pm.\n\nDonation for admission is $10 or groups 
 of ten or more at $5, but no one will be turned away. The proceeds will go 
 to the individuals that are testifying for the Poverty Truth Commission as 
 an honorarium.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/02/23/18572753.php
