‘The Devil We Know’ tells the story of residents of Parkersburg, West Virginia, who courageously rose up against the chemical industry. For years, they had noticed rampant health issues among their neighbors and witnessed the sudden death of livestock on their farms. Against all odds, they put the pieces of an environmental mystery together and discovered the toxic chemical PFOA / PFAS in the drinking water of tens of thousands of people.

We will start off with watching "Fix It," an excellent documentary outlining the benefits of transitioning to a single-payer health care system. We will then have discussion with State Rep. Yousef Rabhi, who will be introducing a Michigan single-payer healthcare bill into the state legislature.

Join It's On Us and United Brody Black Caucus in watching The Hunting Ground, a documentary about the issue of sexual assault on college campuses across the U.S., and the failure of school administrations to listen to survivors and respond to the epidemic adequately. Although Michigan State is not mentioned specifically in the documentary, recent events like the Larry Nassar scandal and the allegation of rape by members of the MSU basketball team prove that sexual assault most certainly occurs on our campus, and has been a problem for many years.

Come join us to watch this one-hour documentary about our broken healthcare system and why single payer universal healthcare is the only answer!

Stay for a Q & A session with former Physicians for a National Health Plan President Susan Steigerwalt, and get signed up and involved in the fight to make universal healthcare a reality in Lansing and in Washington!
