PORTLAND PREMIERE
“NEIGHBOR by NEIGHBOR: Mobilizing an Invisible Community in Lewiston, Maine”
WED, March 10 @ 6pm
Reiche School Community Center
166 Brackett Street, Portland, Maine 04102
This movie documents 5 years of development and community organizing in Lewiston, Maine. It reveals the strategies, the mistakes, the prejudices, the lessons… all of the difficult stuff that makes up the political process – the act of making decisions and setting policy TOGETHER.
It’s an exceptional story about the people of Lewiston, but it’s also a universal story about the challenges faced by many urban neighborhoods across the United States.
*A term rarely used by the mainstream until the 2008 Presidential Election, “community organizers” form the backbone of social change in America. They are the people who walk the streets of America’s marginalized neighborhoods, provoke dialogue, and activate people to get involved and make change happen. They incite democracy at the grassroots level so that it grows upwards to change things at the top of our political system.
