They have limited spots, which do sometimes sell out. So please make sure to register in order to guarantee a spot before heading out there.

Come for a volunteer caregiver day and vegan potluck at Farm of the Free Animal Sanctuary! With over 35 residents, they rely on the support of the community to keep things running smoothly. Good Hope, GA is a bit of a drive so I'd encourage you to volunteer with a friend to make the drive more enjoyable and affordable!

And don't forget to bring your favorite vegan dish to share at the potluck. Vegan = No animal products, ie. no meat, no dairy, no eggs, no honey, etc. They encourage you to bring a recipe card to share with others and indicate any allergens. They'll provide reusable plates, bowls, cups, and utensils to reduce waste.

Wear work clothes and dress appropriately for the current weather conditions, and wear sturdy closed-toe shoes or boots and bring along a water bottle to keep hydrated. Putting on sunscreen recommended. Please do not wear jewelry.

Please do NOT bring along any companion animals for the safety and well-being of our rescued residents.

See you there!

For this Virtual Documentary Night we have voted to talk about the documentary, Food Coop. In the middle of an economic crisis, in the shadow of Wall Street, an institution that represents a less well-known American tradition is booming. The Park Slope Food Coop: a cooperative supermarket where all 16,000 members work 3 hours per months to earn the right to buy the best food in New York at incredibly low prices. Again, you must watch the film before attending this event. Here is a link to where you can watch the film for free.

This is a Voting Night, which means at the end of the night we brainstorm and vote to decide as a group what we will watch the following month, so please come ready with your recommendation. The only requirement is that the film must be available to watch online for free. If you need any ideas, you can search through the Flyers Page on the Community Documentary Night website. It is full of flyers based around certain themes and each flyer is full of documentary posters, which are hyperlinked to where you watch the films for free. Something to consider is that next month is May, which is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AANHPI Heritage Month), and International Workers' Day is celebrated on May 1st. Check out the AANHPI Heritage Month flyer or the International Workers' Day flyer if you're interested in recommending a film in honor of these holidays.

Again, you must watch the film on your own BEFORE the event. We will be meeting over Zoom, where we will break out into small discussion groups. We will do multiple rounds of small group discussion, then have a special guest Q&A, before closing out the night with a vote to decide what film we will watch the following month. The Zoom information is listed below.

This event is posted in multiple meetup groups, and on Eventbrite, as well as with members of the Community Documentary Night email list. (Message me if interested in joining the email list) Therefore, THIS RSVP LIST IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE ATTENDING THE EVENT. So even if you only see one person RSVPed in this meetup group, there will always be others in attendance from other groups. We tend to have at least 20 on average. By inviting numerous groups that increases the likelihood that those in attendance will be from varying backgrounds and beliefs. This is done purposefully to provide everyone with the opportunity to hear a wide range of perspectives.

This event is open to all who are open to all. The one thing we ask is that people allow others to get their full thought out and that any disagreement is voiced in a civil way. Check out the Community Documentary Night website for more info or links to previously shown documentaries.

Thank you and hope to see you there!
