Half price! Come see the Reluctant Radical.

Lorelei --

Tomorrow night will likely be a nail-biter, and it's hard to know how we'll feel on Wednesday. But one thing we know for sure: whatever happens in the elections, we've got our work cut out for us

That work will take many forms, most of them quite legal. But if you're interested in one man's journey to direct action, come see The Reluctant Radical, about climate activist and valve turner Ken Ward, at SIFF Uptown Cinema on Tuesday and Wednesday. Half-price tickets are available for 350 Seattle.

Use discount code RADICAL18 to obtain a $7 discount on tickets, at the door or online.

What: The Reluctant Radical
Where SIFF Cinema Uptown, 511 Queen Anne Ave N
When: Tuesday November 6 & Wednesday November 7, both at 7:00 PM. After the film, join Ken, other valve turners (all of us on Tuesday, all but Leonard and me on Wednesday), and filmmaker Lindsey Grayzel for a post-film discussion.

If a crime is committed in order to prevent a greater harm, is it forgivable? Is it, in fact, necessary? The movie follows Ken as he confronts his fears and puts himself in the direct path of the fossil fuel industry to combat climate change. The film reveals both the personal costs and the fulfillment that comes from following one's moral calling—even if that means breaking the law. The film follows Ken through a series of direct actions, culminating with an action that shut down all the U.S. tar sands bitumen pipelines and could have put him behind bars for years. Trailer and reviews here.

350 Seattle and Climate Direct Action will be on hand to let you know how you can get involved in local climate action campaigns.

In solidarity,
Emily Johnston, 350 Seattle
