Documentary "Brothers on the Line" Screening & Panel Discussion Cinema Detroit will be screening "Brothers on the Line" on: -Wednesday, February 11, 2015 at 7:30pm -Sunday, February 15, 2015 at 5:30pm Get tickets online: http://bit.ly/1tLJrVX With panel discussions following each screening, featuring: -Labor historian, writer and activist Steve Babson -Oakland University Professor of Sociology Graham Cassano - Fran Shor from Wayne State University and the North American Labor History Conference -more TBA Film introduction and panel moderation by Tony Paris from the Sugar Law Center for Economic and Social Justice. "An acclaimed documentary feature exploring the extraordinary journey of the Reuther brothers - Walter, Roy, and Victor - prolific labor statesman whose social justice movement, under the banner of the United Auto Workers union, transformed the landscape of a nation. Directed by Victor's grandson, Sasha, and narrated by Martin Sheen, the film is an in-depth study of one family's rise from auto plant organizers in 1930s Detroit to leaders in collective bargaining, Civil Rights activism, and international labor solidarity. Behind the dramatic headlines of picket line conflict, assassination attempts, heated Senate hearings, and inter-union power struggles, lies a stirring personal story of determination, sacrifice, triumph, and tragedy. This influential and often controversial 40-year crusade would contribute to lifting millions of workers to a middle-class living and compel American democracy to live up to its promise of equality." http://BrothersOnTheLine.com TRAILER: http://BrothersOnTheLine.com/trailer

The Homeless Angels are very excited to announce a partnership with Outback Steakhouse on Feb 18 from 11am-10pm at the Lansing and Okemos locations! To support the Angels, just tell your waiter you are there to “Dine for a Cause” and 20% of your bill will automatically be donated to our non-profit organization. It is that simple! When you come, you will also be able to meet some Angels because Outback Steakhouse is allowing us to receive winter wear style donations at both locations on that day. A representative from the Angels will be on hand to accept donations and answer questions! Remember, in order for your meal to support the Homeless Angels, you must mention “Dine For a Cause” to your waiter! Mark you calendar!!!!! http://www.facebook.com/events/720977554675744/
