A panel discussion about the corrosive influence of corporate money in politics -- moderated by Sholem member Jeff Share, a faculty advisor for UCLA's Teacher Education Program. Three activists on the front lines of the social justice movement will discuss the campaign to pass an amendment striking down the Citizens United decision, the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court case which held that the First Amendment prohibits the government from restricting independent political expenditures by corporations and unions. The speakers will also highlight the fight for clean elections, the continued influence of the Occupy movement and its messages, as well as efforts to preserve endangered civil liberties.
 
The panelists will be:

• Anjuli Kronheim, Los Angeles organizer for California Common Cause.  
• Mary Beth Fielder, award-winning filmmaker, teacher and activist. 
• Lauren Steiner, writer and activist.    

Admission to the event is free.   

 

Co-Sponsored with The Sholem Community, the event will take place at the Westside Neighborhood School, 5401 Beethoven Street  Los Angeles, CA 90066
