The Office of Civic Engagement & Leadership and the Center for Student Diversity is excited to host the film Inequality for All. This film, honored at Sundance and other film festivals, highlights income inequality in America and challenges all of us to consider how we can protect the American worker and the middle class. Following the film, Robert Reich has agreed to do a national webcast at 6:30 p.m. and answer questions from students.
Location: University Union – Chesapeake I & II;
When: Thursday, February 20, 2014, starting at 5 p.m.
About the movie: A passionate argument on behalf of the middle class, Inequality for All features Robert Reich–professor, best-selling author, and Clinton cabinet member as he demonstrates how the widening income gap has a devastating impact on the American economy. The film is an intimate portrait of a man whose lifelong goal remains protecting those who are unable to protect themselves. Through his singular perspective, Reich explains how the massive consolidation of wealth by a precious few threatens the viability of the American workforce and the foundation of democracy itself. In this Inconvenient Truth for the economy, Reich uses humor and facts to explain how the issue of economic inequality affects each and every one of us.
