Location: Bangor Public Library• 145 Harlow St, Bangor, ME 04401 US
Join Maine DSA's Bangor Working group and the Bangor chapter of ACT UP! for our free screening of the documentary, The Ordinance Project. As Bangor experiences rising HIV and Hepatitis C cases, we need to organize and strategize ways to pressure our local officials to respond to the crisis in a meaningful way. The Ordinance Project tells the story of how ACT UP! Kansas City led a coalition to pass an ordinance to prohibit discrimination in housing, employment, and public accommodations based upon sexual orientation and HIV status. After the screening we will have a panel to explore the topics of the film and how we can utilize lessons learned by the organizers in Kansas City to our current efforts in Bangor.
