This meeting is devoted to the upcoming Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Judge Samuel Alito and we have arranged for one of the city's brightest civil rights attorneys, Christopher Edelson, and for Tony Simone, Policy and Field Director,People for the American Way New York, to come and speak about the impact a Justice Alito will have on your life and the things you can do about it. Christopher will address issues of employment discrimination, police conduct (including search and seizure), federalism, the power of the executive branch and the separation of church and state. Afterwards, Tony will outline many of the opportunities that PFAW and the coalition of grassroots and progressive organizations, including NDM, have come up with to engage in this epic and winnable battle. For those of you unfamiliar with Christopher Edelson, he began his career with the firm of Akin, Gump, Straus, Hauer & Feld in Washington, D.C. and worked with People for the American Way in representing clients in both federal and state courts in employment discrimination matters. In addition, Chris has successfully resolved many labor and employment matters before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD).

We're the producers of THE GREAT WARMING (www.thegreatwarming.com ) - a major documentary about climate change that we'd like to bring to your attention. The editorial premise of THE GREAT WARMING is that there is NO LONGER ANY DOUBT that human activities are having a profound effect on Earth's climate. THE GREAT WARMING has been endorsed by a remarkable coalition representing all sectors of US discourse - liberal and conservative, environmentalist and scientists, faith-based and secular. Our partners include the National Council of Churches, National Assoc. of Evangelicals, Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life, as well as New York Climate Rescue, Friends of the Earth, US Climate Action Network, the Earth Day Network, the Union of Concerned Scientists, etc. All of our partners believe that the issue of climate change is much more than a science or environmental issue; it is also an ethical and spiritual issue... and a key political issue in the next election. The film premiered last week at the Ziegfeld to over 1,000 people. Karen Coshof, Producer Start: 23:00
