Free event.
Many in the neighborhood group are familiar with Michael Simm, the founder and CEO of the Logical Foundation. This foundation is working to eliminate homelessness in Tempe. Michael is a member of the neighborhood group and has hosted events in the past. He is inviting the group to another exciting and fascinating event:
The Logical Foundation, in partnership with an ASU Club called Volunteers in Community Outreach, is presenting a free screening of the documentary "Storming Caesars Palace."
At Arizona State University's Tempe campus, for the Annual Basic Income Day of Action!
We're going to have great discussions before and after showing the film!
This event is not a potluck. The hosts will be bringing food for everybody. But Michael would be very happy if neighborhood group members bring a food item to share at the event. Any type of food is welcome: main dish, side dish, salad, bread, hors d'oeuvres, etc.
About the film:
After losing her job as a hotel worker in Las Vegas, Ruby Duncan joined a welfare rights group of mothers who defied notions of the “welfare queen.” In a fight for guaranteed income, Ruby and other equality activists took on the Nevada mob in organizing a massive protest that shut down Caesars Palace.
About the filmmaker:
Hazel Gurland-Pooler is a Colombian-born, NYC-based director/producer and documentary filmmaker. She directed 10 episodes of PBS’s, Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr. and co-produced the 6-hour The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross, also with Gates Jr., which won Emmy, Peabody, duPont-Columbia, and NAACP Image awards.
Parking:
There is no free parking on ASU campus. Visitors to campus may park in guest parking for $4 dollars per hour, with a $16 maximum per day. There is a huge 4-story parking structure very close to the building the event is in. About 50 feet across from the large parking garage is a parking lot, without covered parking. I believe the garage is "Visitor parking Lot 66". Parking can be paid for with credit cards.
