The “Citizens for Economic Justice,” a sub-committee of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Fairhaven’s Social Justice Committee, invites the general public to an open discussion of the issues surrounding income inequality following the showing of the DVDs Citizen Koch and After Shock: Inequality for All, which were shown this past week in Mattapoisett and Fairhaven. These informative videos explore the mounting struggle between money and American democracy. They clearly present the issues surrounding the increasing inequality of income that is afflicting the citizens of our country and which has a growing adverse impact on many of us.
The discussion – a follow-up to the various aspects of the issues and ways in which we, as ordinary citizens, can take steps to ameliorate the unfair and onerous impact upon our lives – will be held at the Friends Meeting House on Route 6 in Mattapoisett on Sunday evening, October 5 from 6:00 – 7:00 pm.
First and foremost…citizens united must be eradicated. Until then,our Democracy will remain in the hands of the rich and the corrupt politicians they use for cover.
