DESCRIPTION:October 14, 5-6 pm Q & A session; Film can be viewed on demand Oct 9-18, 
 2020\n\nWaging Change shines a light on the difficulties faced by 
 restaurant servers and bartenders.  The majority of people who serve food 
 in the U.S. restaurants are paid a federal sub-minimum wage of only $2.13 
 an hour and are forced to depend on tips to feed themselves and their 
 families. Women, who hold two-thirds of all tip-based jobs, are especially 
 affected. Their reliance on tips can lead to pervasive gender 
 discrimination, sexual assault, and sexual harassment at the hands of 
 customers, co-workers, and bosses-and can leave them with little ability to 
 speak up.  As huge numbers of restaurant workers are laid off in the face 
 of the pandemic, Waging Change provides a behind the scenes look at what 
 needs to change so that restaurant workers can receive respect and a fair 
 wage. \n\nJane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appear in 
 support of the workers. Nominated for various upcoming awards, this 
 compelling and ultimately uplifting film points the way toward decent 
 treatment and fair compensation for the workers we encounter everyday. 
 \n\nTo be shown online on demand from Oct 9 to Oct 18.  There will be a 
 post-film discussion  on October 14 from 5-6 pm with Saru Jayarman, leader 
 of the One Fair Wage movement, and Abby Ginzberg, director of the 
 film.\n\nGo to http://diversityfilmseries.org to register for this free

 discussion.\n\nFree, register at website.\n
