We’re starting something new, and we want you to be a part of it! On every third Thursday of the month, Economic Fairness Oregon, We Are Oregon, Jobs With Justice, and SEIU Local 503 will bring you Tom Dwyer Movie Night… absolutely FREE!
Together, we’ll screen movies spotlighting many of the issues facing our society. We plan to cover the spectrum of movies from new to old, serious to funny, and 
documentary to fiction. SEIU’s Timothy Welp says “This partnership with Tom Dwyer Automotive is a great chance for like-minded people to get together in a relaxed setting and talk about the things that are really important.” Maureen Crawford, community organizer for SEIU, is responsible for bringing Jobs With Justice to the partnership. “JWJ is active in a range of critical societal issues. We’re looking for movies that make these complex issues accessable and interesting.” Our own Tom Dwyer is very excited about the project, saying “I’m particularly looking forward to finding provocative older movies that people may not have had a chance to see on the big screen. Our January film, Network, is a great example.” No matter what the selection, we promise you’ll have a entertaining evening that leaves you with something to think about the next day.
All shows will take place at the SEIU Union Hall at the corner of SE Foster and Holgate. The doors will each open each night at 6pm, and the movies will start at 6:30pm.
Since we’re starting Movie Night during the holidays, we’ll kick things off with a holiday-
themed double feature… “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas” and “It’s A Wonderful Life”. More than holiday traditions, these classics recall a quaint, earlier time when greed was something to be ashamed of and the holidays meant more than the bookends of a month-long Black Friday. Once the holidays are behind us, we’ll strike out into new territory. Here’s what to expect in the month’s to come:
On your next free Thursday, follow the links from our website to see what’s playing at Tom Dwyer Movie Night, brought to you through the generousity of SEIU Local 503 and Jobs With Justice. Good movie, good people, a few surprises, and you can’t beat the price… we look forward to seeing you there!
