BUY YOUR TICKETS RIGHT NOW so the award-winning film, Equal Means Equal, can be shown (via TUGG) in La Crosse on Wednesday evening, September 13. Organizers must sell at least 48 more tickets by September 6 in order for the film to be shown. Because it's a TUGG event, a minimum number of tickets must be sold in advance for the film to be screened.

And, other important news:
A couple of weeks ago an important new initiative began. Please spread the word.
"[T]he Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism is partnering with ProPublica and its Documenting Hate project to collect reports of bias incidents and hate crimes in our state. The nationwide project includes dozens of news, academic and advocacy organizations that have joined to expose the impact of bigotry in America.
"Beginning today, the Center is asking residents who have witnessed or experienced hate crimes or incidents of bias to report them using the form on our website. These reports will be used for our reporting on bigotry and become part of ProPublica’s national database. Names of submitters will not be shared outside of the coalition without the submitter’s permission."
