political will.

*“The Sweet Chariot Music & Arts Festival”*
The Sweet Chariot Music and Arts Festival is a wild gaggle of
songwriters, musicians, divas and divos, poets storytellers and artists
who meet for a week each summer on an island off the Maine Coast and
deliver three nights of inspiration to a rapt audience in the funkiest
hall you’ve ever stepped into. They’ve been doing this for over 30
years, and keep coming back for more, except when a virus requires an
involuntary sabbatical. Now they’re rarin’ to go, and will give you a
sneak preview, in celebration of one of their member’s birthday (Dean),
and in fond memory our beloved Kathleen Dinan. Join us!
*Music by Eric Kilburn, Lisa Redfern, Dean Stevens, Ritt Henn, Beth
Falcone, Daisy and Stan, Geoff Kaufman, Suzy Williams, John and Rachel
Nicholas, David Dodson, Mary Kate Small*, and many more.... in other
words way too many to fit in one service, but who even cares??
*Sunday, May 30th at 11 AM: *
*“Film: Child's Play"*
*with Michael Sheridan*
Four children in Sialkot, Pakistan, introduce us to their daily lives
and tell us why they work stitching soccer balls. The film argues that
to eliminate child labor, viable economic options must be created so
that parents can afford not to have their children work. Produced for
Save the Children Fund-UK and shown at the United Nation's International
Conference on Child Labor and at the British Sports Apparel Industry's
annual conference. The film helped change policy and raised 1.2 million
dollars for Save the Children's Sialkot program.
*Sunday, June 6th at 11 AM:*
*“Exonerating Ethel”*
*with Jennifer Meeropol*
Jenn Meeropol discusses the successes and lessons learned from the 2016
campaign to exonerate her grandmother, Ethel Rosenberg. In 1951, at the
height of the McCarthy era, Ethel was convicted of “conspiracy to commit
espionage” alongside her husband Julius in a trial that would come to
symbolize "Red Scare" hysteria and the U.S.’s willingness to commit
injustice in the name of national security. As we mark the 70th
anniversary of the conviction, Jenn shares what comes next for the
exonerate campaign, including the exciting possibility of a relaunch
effort in the months to come, and why it still matters today.
