Join us for an evening of fundraising and film - as we present a screening of this historic documentary to benefit NO on CONSTITUTIONAL AMMENDMENT 36.

Ten years ago, critics and educators hailed the documentary "Ballot Measure 9" as "mandatory viewing for those still fighting to make America a true democracy." Shot during the Clinton/Bush election, "Ballot Measure 9" follows activists on both sides through nine months of an inflammatory initiative campaign in Oregon over the question of gay rights. Still resonant, it is particularly timely now. A chilling portrait of the politics of intolerance, this classic documentary offers a valuable window to discussions about the health of democracy and the kind of society in which we want to live.

Activist Kathleen Saadat and mayoral candidate Tom Potter will be in attendance for a Q&A following the film.
