 Watch the film on Eventive, October 30-November 1 mjff2020.eventive.org/

 Zoom Talkback on Sunday, November 1 at 7:30 pm with Jenny Tasse, Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council, and Pardeep Singh Kaleka, Executive Director of Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee and Arno Michaelis from Serve 2 Unite. All ticket holders will receive a Zoom invitation to the Talkback within 48 hours of the webinar.

 The screening of "Thou Shalt Not Hate" is part of the 2020 Milwaukee Jewish Film Festival.  Hosted by Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center

 Simone Segre, a renowned surgeon of Jewish origin, lives in a city in the north-east of Italy. A quiet life, an elegant apartment, and no connection with his past. One day he finds himself assisting a male victim of a hit and run accident. But when he discovers a Nazi tattoo on his chest, Simone abandons him to his destiny. Filled with guilt, he ends up tracing the man’s family: Marica, the eldest daughter; Marcello, a teenager plagued with racial hate; and little Paolo. The night will come when Marica knocks at Simone’s door and unknowingly asks for payback.
This film is shown in cooperation with Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee, Serve 2 Unite, Hours Against Hate, and the Jewish Community Relations Council of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation.

 CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE 101: DEFEND DEMOCRACY

 The First Unitarian Church leadership team of Rev. Jennifer Nordstrom, Kathy Rivera, Nick Hayes, Pete Koneazny, Beth Monhollen and Terry Wiggins invite you to participate in an online training, "Civil Disobedience 101: Defend Democracy" on Monday Oct. 26, 6-8 pm, for local UUs and allies concerned with protecting and defending democracy. 
"Friends, 
 We have each pledged to protect and defend our democracy as part of our Unitarian Universalist faith practice. We know our democracy is under threat. At best, this election will be chaotic and confusing. At worst, there may be an attempt at an undemocratic power grab—a coup.  Preparing for the worst is like having a fire drill: it is emergency preparedness planning for contingencies. While the emergency may be unlikely, the planning still must be done so we are prepared to act quickly if the worst happens. If there is an undemocratic takeover attempt this November, will you be ready to take action?
Please join us in pledging to uphold democracy and a fair election. Everyone has a role to play in this, from pressuring our officials to count every vote, to understanding what a coup is and sharing that definition, to using non-violent demonstration, resistance and shut down until democracy prevails. Nonviolent mass resistance has stopped coups around the world, and we can do the same here if someone attempts to thwart our free and fair election."  -UU leadership team
