Campus Progress invites you to attend the Washington D.C. premiere of the Media That Matters Film Festival! The Media That Matters Film Festival is the premier showcase for short films on the most important topics of the day. Local and global, online and in communities around the world, Media That Matters engages diverse audiences and inspires them to take action.
Campus Progress, part of the Center for American Progress, works to help young people—advocates, activists, journalists, artists—make their voices heard on issues that matter. Through an online magazine and student publications, public events, multimedia projects, and grassroots issue campaigns, Campus Progress acts to empower new progressive leaders nationwide as they develop fresh ideas, communicate in new ways, push policy outcomes in a progressive direction, and build a strong progressive movement. We are always excited to partner with groups like Campus Progress as they help support our case of using film and new media to engage and encourage our audiences to Take Action. This month’s screening - while free and open to the public - is specifically catered to the great group of interns that typically flood the DC area in the summer. We hope there will be some memorable Take Action takeaways this time around.

Organize for the National Eat-In!
On Labor Day, Sept. 7, 2009, people in communities all over the country will sit down to share a meal with their neighbors and kids. This National Eat-In will send a clear message to Congress: It’s time to provide America’s children with real food at school! You don’t have to have done anything like this before - you’re just gathering a group of people for a potluck.
With your help, Sept. 7, 2009 will mark the day this country comes together to take the first step towards a future where no child is denied his or her right to be healthy and where every child enjoys real food. Sign up to organize an Eat-In on Sept. 7. The website has also created an Organizer Toolkit to guide you through the process. .
Check out the Media That Matters: Good Food Festival for more information on food and sustainability.
