Getting a Grip on Money and Politics, Part I

Fri, 16 Nov 2007 06:46 GMT

“There is a solution to the madness of money in politics,” says Frances Moore Lappé, “watch and be inspired.” A Gallup poll released the last week of September 2007 includes the somber report: “[T]rust in many federal government institutions is now lower than it was during the Watergate era.” Public faith in the president is lower than it was on the eve of the Nixon resignation. Americans have even lost faith in themselves. A post on the Editor & Publisher web site says: “Americans are even losing faith — in themselves. Currently, 70% of Americans trust the public’s ability to perform its role in a democratic government…significantly lower than any other reading Gallup has taken.” A new web-doc, Getting a Grip on Money and Politics examines campaign finance reform through new eyes. In 2000, Deborah Simpson, a waitress and recently divorced single mother ran for election under Maine’s Clean Election statute. Freed from having to raise money from private donors, she won and went on to serve four terms. Simpson’s inspirational story is juxtaposed with comments of despair and disappointment from on-the-street interviews and masterfully highlighted by Frances Moore Lappé‘s passionate plea for us to embrace this new alternative to the trend of billion-dollar politics. This video is based on Lappé‘s new book, Getting a Grip: Clarity, Creativity, and Courage in a World Gone Mad (available now). In it, she flouts conventional left-versus-right divisions and affirms the reader’s basic sanity – the intuition that it is possible to stop grasping at straws and to grasp instead the real roots of today’s crises. Lappé argues that American democracy is not stagnant or complete, but fresh and vibrant, changing generation by generation. “Here you’ll find stories of what happens when people take the leap, when they rethink and re-engage – finding their voices and the joy of powerful community,” Lappé says. “We do have the power to create the world we want if we are willing to dig to the root causes – if we are willing to challenge the false assumptions that stand in our way.” Deb Simpson was willing to “take the leap” and now she chairs the Maine House Judiciary Committee.

Give Peace A Channel

Thu, 28 Jun 2007 06:40 GMT

From Vietnam Veterans blasting the Rambo myth, to activists raising money for local peace groups, to regular folks getting arrested on the steps of a weapons factory, this show is a testament to the level of public concern around issues of militarism and disarmament. Voices of city teenagers talking about spending money for bombs instead of helping to rebuild their neighborhood while viewing footage of abandoned buildings brings the discussion of "budget priorities" out of the realm of the abstract and into our daily lives, where it belongs. Produced by Caryn Rogoff and Kirk Ruebenson (NY, NY)

OCCUPATION - trailer

Mon, 11 Jun 2007 08:25 GMT

A dynamic story of how students and immigrant janitors took on—and defeated—one of the most powerful corporations in the world, Occupation documents the historic three-week sit-in by the Harvard Living Wage Campaign. The Campaign won unprecedented gains for low-wage workers at the world’s richest university, and catapulted the living wage movement to the center of public attention. In demonstrating one local response to corporate power in an age of globalization, Occupation powerfully depicts how people from dramatically different backgrounds were able to raise their hands together in victory. It is narrated by Ben Affleck.
