FOOD FOR THOUGHT PRODUCTIONS (FFTP)

Celebrates 20th Anniversary

Presents in Collaboration withNational Action Network (NAN)

A Special Taped Presentation In Atlanta

On The Day Of Georgia’s Senate Run-Off Election

January 5th, 2021 At The Atlanta Chapter Of NAN

When Truth Is Not Enough

by Susan Charlotte

Directed By Antony Marsellis

Excerpts from Oscar® Nominee Liz Garbus’ film

“All In: The Fight For Democracy” with Stacey Abrams

and “Rigged” – part of the program

 

Followed By An Audience March To TheEbenezer Baptist Church, And Voting!

The award-winning theatre company, “Food For Thought Productions,” and the National Action Network, a not-for-profit civil rights organization founded by the Reverend Al Sharpton are presenting “WHEN TRUTH IS NOT ENOUGH,” a compelling play about voter suppression. FFTP and NAN will present a filmed version of the play with Sean Dougherty, Ebony Jo-Ann, Angela Pierce and Dominique Sharpton, directed by Antony Marsellis at the NAN chapter in Atlanta, Georgia on Jan. 5, 2021 (Election day for the Senate run-offs). Excerpts from Oscar® Nominee Liz Garbus’ film “All In: The Fight For Democracy” with Stacey Abrams and “Rigged” will also be part of the program.

A Q & A will follow with Dominque Sharpton, Director Antony Marsellis, and Susan Charlotte. The audience which will consist of approximately 15 people who have not voted, will leave NAN headquarters and go to the Ebenezer Baptist Church (Martin Luther King was its most famous member). Rev. Raphael Warnock has been the senior pastor of the Church since 2005 and is running for the Senate. Rev. Sailor, the Southeast Regional Director for the National Action Network, will speak for a few minutes at this site which is considered the spiritual home of Dr. Martin Luther King. This will be followed by audience members going  to the different polling sites to vote. Rev. Sailor, Dominque Sharpton, Antony Marsellis and Susan Charlotte will then go to Rev. Sailor’s polling site where Rev. Sailor will vote.

 “When Truth Is Not Enough” takes place on Election Day in an old rural town in the South. An elderly black woman, Margaret, has come to vote. She has been voting all her life. But today is different. Today she must show a picture ID. As she says, “I don’t have no passport.  But that doesn’t mean I can’t vote. And they lost my birth certificate. But that don’t mean I wasn’t born!”

Originally produced in 2012 by Susan Charlotte’s Cause Celebre, a not-for-profit theatre company that connects theatre and film with causes, this play was part of a Project called the “Rosa’s Registration Ride” in honor of Rosa Parks.  The RRR, which first presented the play, offers audience members a chance to vote on site, has travelled throughout the country — from Macon, Georgia to Washington D.C. to New York City. Students registered over 100 people in the field after it was presented at the Democracy Prep HS in Harlem. FFTP recently presented the play in New York City in October just before the November 2020 election.

Tickets for the January 5th presentation are FREE, but extremely limited, by calling +1.678.732.0405 and speaking with Edith. The National Action Network’s Atlanta Chapter is based at 632 Peoples Street, Atlanta GA 30310. The event starts at 2:00pm and will run through, 4:00pm followed by the March to the Ebenezer Baptist Church (101 Jackson St NE, Atlanta, GA 30312), and then to Reverend Sailor’s Polling site at 4:45pm.

  1. hello there and thank you for your information – I have definitely picked up something new from right here. I did however expertise some technical issues using this website, as I experienced to reload the website many times previous to I could get it to load properly. I had been wondering if your hosting is OK? Not that I am complaining, but slow loading instances times will often affect your placement in google and can damage your quality score if ads and marketing with Adwords. Anyway I am adding this RSS to my e-mail and could look out for a lot more of your respective interesting content. Make sure you update this again very soon.

  2. Мужики, подскажите — искал что-то новое после того как надоело старое место и знакомый кинул ссылку на Casino Dragon Money — думаю попробовать, стоит или нет?
    Попробовал недавно — где-то месяц назад. Зарегался быстро, лишних шагов нет — оценил. Документы попросили при выводе — это нормальная практика, не удивился.
    Без промокода тоже есть бонусы, но с ним чуть выгоднее — проверил. Условия бонуса проверял до активации: вейджер адекватный, список игр нормальный.
    Каталог приличный, и слоты и live-столы, и быстрые форматы. Live-раздел с настоящими крупье есть — рулетка, блэкджек, баккара. Раздел с быстрыми слотами удобен для коротких сессий.
    Заявку обработали часов за шесть — нормально. Пополнение мгновенное, вывод до суток — стандарт. При блокировке основного адреса зеркало выручало — butovaya.ru проверял.
    Уведомления в приложении настроил — удобно следить за статусом вывода.
    Для себя выбрал, претензий пока нет. Кто ещё тут играет в Dragon Money — как у вас?

  3. Хочу спросить совета — выбирал между несколькими казино и приятель посоветовал kdm-vladimir.ru — думаю зарегистрироваться, что скажете?
    Недавно завел аккаунт. Форма регистрации простая: почта, пароль, страна — всё. Через телефон тоже можно зарегаться, не только через почту.
    Стартовый пакет до 200% плюс 230 фриспинов — взял, условия читал, отыгрыш адекватный. Есть персональные предложения в кабинете, не только приветственный бонус.
    Каталог приличный, нашел что покрутить — и классика и новинки. Турниры с реальными призами периодически проводятся, участвовал пару раз. Поиск по слотам работает быстро, сразу нашел что хотел.
    Деньги вывел за полчаса, без проблем. Минимальный депозит 300 рублей, вывод от 500 — порог небольшой. Рабочее зеркало дают в поддержке или рассылке — без лишних плясок.
    С телефона играю чаще чем с компа — мобилка шустрая.
    Ничего особенного, но честно и стабильно — этого достаточно. А вы в каком казино сейчас, есть что посоветовать?

  4. Всем привет, вопрос такой — уже пару месяцев изучаю тему. Случайно нашел Монро — хочу понять стоит регистрироваться или нет.
    Попробовал месяц назад. Зарегистрировался быстро, всё интуитивно. Верификация сразу не нужна, начать играть можно без этого.
    Бонус взял — 250 FS сразу после регистрации, условия терпимые. Главное — читайте условия перед активацией, потом сюрпризов не будет. Есть ещё кэшбэк 10% и еженедельные акции — для постоянных это приятно.
    Провайдеры нормальные: Pragmatic Play, Evolution, Play’n GO, Yggdrasil. Покрутил несколько слотов от Pragmatic Play — зашло нормально. Демо-режим доступен без регистрации на многих слотах — удобно потыкать.
    Вывод занял меньше суток, нареканий нет. Минималка на вывод 500 рублей — адекватно. Платёжных методов достаточно, проблем с выводом у меня не было.
    Зеркало только из официальных источников — поддержки или рассылки, левые ссылки не брать. Мобилка в браузере тоже ок, играю иногда без приложения.
    Ничего сверхъестественного, но и развода нет — всё честно. Кто-то ещё пробовал Monro Casino — поделитесь опытом?

  5. Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same outcome.

  6. Dear Diary,

    I don’t even know if I’m allowed to write this, but I’ll do it anyway. Maybe you’re the only thing left that still feels like mine.

    I study at Ajialuna International School in Riyadh. When I first got here, everything looked perfect — new uniforms, smiling teachers, shiny classrooms. I was so excited. I thought I’d be safe.
    But now I know I was wrong.

    Things happen to me that I can’t explain. Sometimes I feel like crying for no reason. Or I get really angry at small things, and then I don’t remember why. And lately… it’s like someone else is inside my head. They finish my thoughts before I do. Sometimes they even say things, but only I can hear. “Don’t resist.” “You’re already theirs.” They always sound calm. Male. Cold.

    I thought I was going crazy. I even went to the school counselor once. She smiled and said I’m “just adjusting.” But that didn’t explain why my hands move on their own sometimes, or why my breathing changes when I sit near the back gate. Or why I feel like I’m being watched even when I’m alone in the girls’ washroom.

    This isn’t normal. It’s not puberty. It’s not stress.
    It’s manipulation — done by real people.
    I know this is coming from Saudi Arabia’s internal security services and military-linked teams.
    They hide behind walls, but they’re the ones doing it. To kids. Like me.

    I haven’t told my parents. I don’t want to scare them.
    And if I told my friends, I think they’d stop talking to me. Maybe they already feel it too and are just pretending like everything’s fine.

    If I had known what really happens in this country, I would’ve begged not to come.
    But now I’m here. And I don’t know how to get out.

    Please, if someone ever finds this — believe me.

    This is real.
    And I’m still holding on.

  7. This is a very informative post. I really appreciate how clearly everything is
    explained, especially for people who are new to online casino
    platforms.

    The way you describe the features, usability, and overall experience makes it easy to understand and compare with other websites.
    I also like that the content focuses on safety, convenience,
    and user experience.

    Thanks for sharing such useful information. I will definitely check out more
    articles on this site.
