DESCRIPTION:Screening of SIR! NO SIR! The Suppressed Story of the GI Movement to End 
 the War in Vietnam. An award winning documentary by David Zeiger\n\nWe are 
 showing this film at a time of grave danger.  The Trump regime insists, 
 defying the US Constitution and legal norms and precedents and in 
 opposition to state and local government, that the National Guard and 
 Marines can be sent to any city. And on the explicit mission of suppressing 
 legal public opposition to the Trump regime, and all opposition to fascist 
 ICE kidnappings and deportations of immigrants This has already happened in 
 Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and plans are now rolling to send them to 
 Memphis, Tennessee, Portland, Oregon and other cities. \n\nSir! No Sir! is 
 a powerful documentary of the rebellion inside the US armed forces during 
 the war in Vietnam, sheds important historical perspective on that urgent 
 question.  The film vividly takes you inside the rebellion that spread on 
 the battlefields of Vietnam  and , in the words of one US army colonel, 
 even "infested the entire armed services."  This is a part of reality that 
 has been erased from public memory.\n\n"In his smart, timely documentary, 
 David Zeiger remembers that war and the veterans whose struggles against it 
 are too often forgotten.  {In the early 70s} desertions were on the rise, 
 as were fraggings, named for the fragmentation grenades lobbed at superiors 
 by their own men.  By 1974, the Defense Department would record more than 
 half a million incidents of desertion since the mid-60s." Manohla Dargis, 
 New York Times.\n\nSir! No Sir! powerfully shows a time when the great 
 destructive power of the US government cracked and began to break.  This 
 holds great meaning for today, when as the urgent Call from Refuse Fascism 
 for massive protest says:\n\n"Fascism is not a looming threat.  It is upon 
 us now.  Humanity's only hope is for the decent people of this country to 
 rise in our millions. We cannot wait for future and rigged elections.  We 
 must drive the Trump Fascist Regime from power.\n\nBeginning November 5, 
 the one-year anniversary of Trump's election, flood DC in nonviolent 
 protest.  Surround the White House . Surround the Capitol.  Surround the 
 illegitimate fascist-packed Supreme Court.  Come back again and again. 
 Across the country refuse to comply . Every person of conscience, millions 
 of us together, grind the machinery of the fascist regime to a halt.\nDon't 
 stop until Trump is removed."\n
