The War Tapes is one of the most compelling documentaries of our time. It focuses not just on the war, but life back home and the difficult ways family and relationships change. The film is powerful and moving conveying both the passion and mindset of American soldiers and the incredible human and community cost of war. You have never seen a film like this before.

After the movie, we will send postcards to Congress demanding binding action to end the occupation in Iraq and bring our brave men and women home. The movement to end this war is building; help us unite our voices by taking action together!

Doors open at 6:00pm and movie will start at 7:00pm. Drinks and popcorn will be served. Also bring a snack if you want.

The cold and snow of northeast Tennessee didn't stop close to two dozen people from attending Democracy for Tennessee's first Citizen Journalism 101 workshop.  The place was the Democratic Resource Center in Johnson City and the plan was to educate and inspire regular progressive activists to understand journalism, framing, and the tools available to get a progressive message out to a conservative community.

While a national wave of Democratic and progressive victories sweeps the country, Tennessee seems, at first glance, to have been left behind.

But not so fast... there are bright spots.
