The November election is an important one for marriage equality on national, state and local levels. We are concentrating distribution efforts on key swing states for the presidential election and on the eleven states with constitutional amendments on their November ballots. We are currently looking for organizations and individuals in these areas and beyond to organize or host screenings prior to the election on November 2, 2004. Make a difference, help us distribute this important film.

Depending on where you live, either Rainbow Grannies or the Director may be able to attend your gathering. The more people who see the film, the better chance we have of defeating discriminatory legislation and those officials who support them.

Screenings have already been scheduled in California, Colorado, Utah, Minnesota, Maryland, Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. Details for each coming soon...

There are several ways you can get involved.....

Organize a Screening

There are several ways in which you can organize a screening of the film in your community, congregation, organization, office or home.

Date
Set a date that best suits you anytime after September 29. Be aware of the four Presidential debates scheduled for September 30, October 8, 13, 15.

Your Event
Basically, the type of event you want to have is up to you - a larger event with other local organizations, a fundraiser or a small intimate event, such as a house party. It's up to you.

If you are interested in coordinating a larger community event, talk to local organizations (community centers, LGBT organizations, PFLAG, churches, synagogues, political groups, ACLU, etc.) about co-spnsorship or other forms of involvement. You may use the event as a fundraiser with all proceeds going to the designated organization. Screenings coordinated with multiple groups are a great way to distibute and collect information, network and inspire the larger community to vote and take further action.

Cost
For only $29.95 we will send a copy of the film (DVD or VHS) along with supplemental viewing and educational guides specific to your state. The film will be yours to keep.

Rainbow Grannies and/or Filmmaker Attendance
Depending on where you are located, the Rainbow Grannies themselves or the director may be able to attend your screening.  Unfortunatley, we will not be able to get everywhere due to financial and time constraints. If you are interested in one or all of us attending and can help with travel costs (including frequent flyer miles) please let us know.


HOST A HOUSE PARTY
Last year MoveOn.org used the internet and a series of house parties to distribute two documentaries across the country. Most recently, the film Outfoxed, about the slanted journalism on the Fox News Channels, was seen by over 8,000 people in one night. As word continues to spread, the film has sold over 100,000 copies to individuals and groups who are now informed and ready to take action.

We want to do the same. Invite your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers into your home for a screening of A Time To Ride. For only $29.95 we will send you a copy of the film (DVD or VHS) along with supplemental information specific to the state in which you live. House parties are a great way to provide an informal setting to view the film and discuss the issues it raises. See below for ordering information.


SEND SOMEONE A COPY
Perhaps you know a gay or lesbian family who would be inspired by A Time To Ride? Why not send them a copy? Or maybe you know of someone who is opposed to or on the fence about marriage equality? Send them a copy. See below for ordering information.
