February film: 13th

The 13th Amendment to The United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude. It created a protected right for citizens to be free from bondage. But, a loophole allows suppression of this right for criminals who are being punished following a conviction. This 14-word phrase charted a path for the American prison-industrial complex. 13th, a documentary by filmmaker Ava DuVernay, explores the history of institutional racism through the lens of the 13th Amendment.

“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” (U.S. Const. amend. XIII)

The film is available on Netflix and Youtube: https://youtu.be/krfcq5pF8u8

Please read the book/watch the film prior to attending the discussion. Free and open to all.

I liked much of what Bret Pollington had to say. However, in his earlier interview with Tran he stated that he's firmly opposed to maintaining the Mill Pond Dam, "full stop". So a vote for Bret is a vote against the dam.

Thanks for the post as you have confirmed my thoughts, all candidates are of the liberal persuasion ! Makes me very glad that my choice for my family was York Township and not the city.
