JULY 13! WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO DINE AND DISCUSS DOING AWAY WITH CORPORATE HARM?
We have THREE tickets left for a very special Vancouver 'perk' on offer for The Corporation Film's #OffTheCouch Campaign! The dinner will be on Sunday evening, July 13, at 6:30. The next TWO people to claim this, will get the tickets for half price as our Community Producer Mukund Menda has subsidized them.
Vancouverites! Give now and reserve your place at the table for our exclusive secret supper & private jazz concert with Joel Bakan & Rebecca Jenkins (only 3 of 10 spots remaining!)
With a gift to our campaign at the $1,000 level, you can take your place as one of ten guests (and half the spots are already snapped up!) at a dinner party in my very cool Chinatown studio, which includes a private jazz concert by The Corporation author Joel Bakan and his partner, the singer and actress Rebecca Jenkins. You'll be served cocktails (or mocktails) during the concert, followed by a free-range feast that is tailored for your preferences (cooked by me), and will get to chat with Joel over dinner about his new book, a sequel to The Corporation. Please consider giving to our campaign in this way, and share this invite with others who might love to be part of a unique evening.
The illustration above was created by our designer extraordinaire Terry Sunderland, who also brought you The Corporation logo and all our cool campaign graphics. If you contribute at the Secret Supper level, we will also make YOU into an avatar for our activist 'crowd' in future posters and on the website. : ) PLUS you will get signed copies of Joel's books, a print version of the poster, and a DVD of the new cut of the film with your name in the credits as community supporter!
Of course contributions to the campaign at any level are also gratefully received. Even a small donation to the campaign means one more supporter, and we are just as excited about gaining supporters as we are reaching our monetary goal! Contribute Now.

Corporations are not the architects of my dreams. Corporate globalization is not my religion, though it be worshipped all around me. Profit over every other earthly concern is not my way of doing business. ~Kat Dodds

In these dark days of climate change, it sometimes feels like a waking nightmare with facebook feeds flashing before my eyes: Youtube visions of factories burning; tales of terminator seeds; the drones of PR as the call to war; waters rising; unceded territories the scene of corporate crimes, citizens rights eroding through government spying; and even oil spilling on the streets of LA — The plundering of our planet does seem apocalyptic.
There is a devil, and it is in the coporate institutions very DNA.
And the devil's advocates say only they can solve the crises they create.
We need to change the entire game.
The Corporation film, and audiences response to it, has given an albeit secular soul to my work. Working with this head & heart felt film alongside the people who made it, has spanned much more than the past decade. I formed Hello Cool World at the turn of this century so that we'd be ready to build the grassroots campaign to launch the film. Which is why we at HCW are a small, collaborative grassroots motley crew of do-gooders.
And now, we need to do gooder, again.
Which is my dream now: To re-launch the film through our activist and educators communities to re-awaken our collective spirit of resistance and rebuild our faith in each other to solve our problems as citizens, as friends, as communities, to reclaim the soul of democracy, which is solidarity.
Who's coming along on this ride?
