'We The People' documentary on tap

Responsible Growth * NE Washington brings the film “We the People 2.0” to Newport with a complimentary screening at the Pend Oreille Playhouse, 236 S. Union Ave., on Sunday, Nov. 18, at 2 p.m.

This documentary, presented by Tree Media and the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, tells the story of people across the U.S. who have faced decades of environmental assaults – such as fracking and (sewage) sludging on farmland — and what they are doing about it.

The film shares how they are working with CELDF and organizing to stop these assaults in their own communities through rights-based laws, and what they are doing about it.

Communities are joining across states to advance democratic and environmental rights, building the next citizens’ movement through Community Rights and Rights of Nature.

A special guest from CELDF for a question-and-answer period follows the film.
