The "Potluck for Progressives" is a group organized for the purpose of bringing together likeminded people on a weekly basis to break bread and talk about crucial issues affecting the community and the world.
At each meeting, people interested in peace, social justice, labor, and the environment gather to exchange ideas, talk about successes, plan actions, or just engage in a friendly discussion with one another.
Bring a dish to share! Enjoy the bounty that others bring as well! The potluck will start at 6:30 p.m. with a speaker or film to follow at 7:30 p.m. Please join us even if you can't bring any food!
On the Agenda:
Progressive Potluck
6:30 - 7:30 P.M.
Bring along your favorite dish of food, chips, dips, or soft drinks, and spend an hour mingling with progressive people from all over Orange County.
Featured Film:
7:30 - 8:30 P.M.
We will be screening the film, "Blood and Oil," a documentary narrated by bestselling author and Nation magazine defense correspondent Michael T. Klare
The notion that oil motivates America's military engagements in the Middle East is often disregarded as nonsense or mere conspiracy theory. In "Blood and Oil," Klare challenges this conventional wisdom and corrects the historical record.
The film unearths declassified documents and highlights forgotten passages in prominent presidential doctrines, both Democrat and Republican, to show how concerns about oil have been at the core of American foreign policy for more than 60 years -- rendering our contemporary energy and military policies virtually indistinguishable.
Klare claims that unless we radically change direction in our energy policies, we stand to be drawn into one oil war after another as the global hunt for diminishing world petroleum supplies accelerates.
Open Forum
8:30 - 9:30 P.M.
Open discussion, announcements, and other news of interest.
The "Potluck for Progressives" is endorsed by the Social Concerns Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Anaheim and is free and open to the general public. Although a small donation might be requested to help pay for facility costs, nobody will be turned away due to a lack of funds.
