[Lekooks] Fwd: "Black Panther": Pledge to see the movie now

[philip smith]

Check out the email below promoting "Black Panther" , a Marvel movie
opening  Feb 16 with a mostly African-American cast. I think it would be
fun to get a carload of folks and go into Milwaukee to catch dinner and
watch the movie. Let me know if you're interested.

Philip --

It's February, which means Black History Month is officially upon us. And
Marvel Studios is providing us with a fantastic way to celebrate.

*We are only days away from the nationwide release of “Black Panther," a
brand new Marvel Universe movie that features a star-studded cast of
virtually all Black actors and actresses.*

This release is a powerful counter-narrative to what we see on CNN
everyday, as we grapple with a president who spews out racist tweets and an
entire political party that has chosen to cozy up to White supremacists.
This is the perfect movie for this moment -- and for Black History Month.

Representation is important, not only in politics and business, but also in
entertainment. That’s why we’re asking Democracy for America members across
the country to go out and see “Black Panther."

*Click here to watch the official trailer for "Black Panther" -- then sign
our pledge to see it in theaters after it is released on Friday, February
16.*

As an organization that’s always working to fight for equality, we believe
that supporting a predominantly Black movie is a unique but effective way
to support the larger movement for racial justice.

It’s great if you can get folks together to go out and see “Black Panther”
on opening night. But if you can't, that's okay! The more prolonged success
a movie has, the longer it continues playing in theaters, so buying tickets
for the following week or two weeks after its release will make a
difference, too.

*Don't miss out on what will certainly be one of the biggest movies of
2018. Click here to watch the trailer for "Black Panther" -- then pledge to
get a few friends together to go see it in theaters after it releases on
Friday, February 16.*

Thanks for checking out this awesome -- and proudly Black -- movie.
