“Trump’s Moves to Endanger to Our Right to Vote”
with Greg Palast
Greg Palast has for decades researched, exposed and written about the deep faults and fissures within the USA’s electoral system, and those shortcomings suddenly on steroids with the presence of would-be-tyrant Trump. His talk follows up on his work in the film “Vigilantes Inc.: America’s New Vote Suppression Hitmen”, which can be viewed at www.gregpalast.com.
• Greg Allyn Palast is a filmmaker and journalist. He is author of several New York Times bestsellers including The Best Democracy Money Can Buy. You can stream his new film, Vigilantes Inc.: America’s New Vote Suppression Hitmen at GregPalast.com. Produced by Martin Sheen, narrated by Rosario Dawson.

Free reception 6:00PM and screening 7:00PM and Q&A with filmmaker.
With the current war against Iran dominating headlines, your church members and others might be interested in a discussion about the deeper historical roots behind the crisis, a subject explored in my award-winning documentary Valentino’s Ghost: Why We Hate Arabs and Muslims.
The film explores the historical and political narratives that helped shape American perceptions of Arabs and Muslims. In the context of the present all-out war with Iran, the film’s analysis of media framing, U.S. foreign policy, and the roots of Islamophobia now feel newly relevant — even prescient.
Valentino’s Ghost received standing ovations at the Venice (La Biennale) and Amsterdam (IDFA) film festivals. The Village Voice called the film “thrilling,” and the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs said “Valentino’s Ghost is the most important film of the decade.”
The film includes original interviews with voices such as Gore Vidal, Niall Ferguson (Harvard), Melani McAlister (George Washington University), and the late Middle East foreign correspondent Robert Fisk (The Independent), along with routines from stand-up comics Maz Jobrani and Aron Kader and a memorable interview by actor Tony Shalhoub, whose recollection of playing a terrorist was singled out as particularly poignant in The New York Times review. It designated the film a “Critics’ Choice.”
