Thanks to the many generous contributions of our members, we are now able to have the film maker Eliyahu Ungar-Sargon go on a nation-wide tour and have screenings and discussions in more than twenty-five cities and towns.

His presence will help us draw large and diverse crowds, and enable many people to think about this issue in a whole new way for the first time ever. (Or maybe just really think about it at all for the first time.) It will also allow us to start building a large grassroots activist base around the country.

We reached our fundraising goal, but we are still taking donations to help cover any unexpected costs. Any donations that aren't used in the tour will be put toward future projects at The WHOLE Network.
