DESCRIPTION:New film screening.\n\n"Racially Charged: America's Misdemeanor 
 Problem."\n\nThis just-released film from Robert Greenwald's "Brave New 
 Films" documents the issues surrounding 13 million (mainly black, brown, 
 and poor) Americans who are being incarcerated every day for petty "crimes" 
 like Jaywalking, loitering, vagrancy, walking the railroad, insulting 
 language or gestures, petty theft, disturbing the peace, etc. etc. The 
 practice is then monetized during the detainees' time in jail (averaging 30 
 days before seeing a judge) feeding the $80 billion a year prison system. 
 And the imprisoned wind up with a criminal record and may lose their jobs, 
 their marriages etc. Some prisoners spend years locked up before their 
 trial date, and what may have looked like a petty "misdemeanor" ends up 
 costing them their education, their housing, their credit and their ability 
 to earn a living. This documentary features Mahershala Ali – 2-time 
 Academy Award winner for Moonlight and Green Book.\n\nAudra Walton will 
 host this Zoom event including discussion after the 35 minute film.
