SUMMARY:HEIST, Who Stole the American Dream? A Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:$8-$20 Sliding scale. Benefit for La Peña.\nHEIST: Who St
 ole the American Dream?\nis stunning audiences across the globe, as it
  exposes the real truth behind the worldwide economic collapse, tracin
 g its origins to a 1971 secret memo entitled Attack on American Free E
 nterprise System. Written over 40 years ago by the future Supreme Cour
 t Justice Lewis Powell, at the behest of the US Chamber of Commerce, t
 he 6-page memo, a free-market utopian treatise, called for a money fue
 led big business makeover of government through corporate control of t
 he media, academia, the pulpit, arts and sciences and destruction of o
 rganized labor and consumer protection groups.Sound familiar? Today’
 s crisis and heart stopping headlines can be directly traced to Powell
 ’s real “end game” which was business control of law and politic
 s. Powell’s fingerprints are all over Citizens United, the fateful S
 upreme Court decision which gave corporations and the super rich unlim
 ited ability to shape our elections with virtually unrestricted donati
 ons. HEIST’s step by step detail exposes the systemic implementation
  of Powell’s memo by BOTH U.S. political parties over the last forty
  years culminating in the deregulation of industry, outsourcing of job
 s and regressive taxation. All of which led us to the global financial
  crisis of 2008 and the continued dismantling of the American middle c
 lass.\nToday, politics is the playground of the rich and powerful, wit
 h no thought given to the hopes and dreams of ordinary Americans. No o
 ther film goes as deeply as HEIST in explaining the greatest heist of 
 our time. Moving beyond the white noise of today’s polarizing media,
  HEIST provides viewers with a clear, concise and fact-based explanati
 on of how we got into this mess, and what we need to do to restore our
  representative democracy.\n\nFor more information visit https://trues
