A Christian church in Connecticut perfomed a "gay exorcism" on 16-year old boy. And here I thought we were making a lot of progress in the Northeast with gay rights.

We are very happy to announce the next film in the Phil Greenspan film series being shown at the Fellowship of Reconciliation. "FLOW", Irena Salina's award-winning documentary is an investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century - The World Water Crisis. You can see a trailer and reviews of the film at http://www.flowthefilm.com/.
Please help us get a good turnout by forwarding this message to individuals and groups interested in environmental issues.
Friday July 10th 7 - 9 PM
Fellowship of Reconciliation

After the screening, we will have a discussion aimed at focusing on local water issues, sure to include updates on the desalinization project being promoted for Rockland County. A panel will be present to help with the discussion including:
Connie Coker: Chair of the environmental committee of the Rockland County Legislature.
Laurie Seeman: Artist and long-time water activist who has lived near the Hudson River for 30 years. She conducts classes along the river’s shores and tributaries.
Rachel Richardson: Activist with Food and Water Watch, http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/.
Hope to see you there,

(From the FLOW website) Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the world's dwindling fresh water supply with an unflinching focus on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel.
Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building crisis, at both the global and human scale, and the film introduces many of the governmental and corporate culprits behind the water grab, while begging the question "CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?"
Beyond identifying the problem, FLOW also gives viewers a look at the people and institutions providing practical solutions to the water crisis and those developing new technologies, which are fast becoming blueprints for a successful global and economic turnaround.
