Screening of the film "The Same Heart," which makes the economic and moral case for raising funds from financial transactions to address the pressing needs of our most vulnerable children. Following the film excerpt, there will be a panel discussion with the filmmakers Len and GeorgiaMorris, Reid Maki of the Child Labor Coalition, Karen Orenstein of Friends of the Earth and Dean Baker of the Center for Economic Policy and Research on how a very small fee on Wall Street trades could serve as an investment in our future: raising new revenue to support our communities, making financial markets work for everyone, and providing funds to not only address our domestic needs but also to tackle global crises like hunger, infectious disease, and climate change.
