People V Politics

Unite NY invites you to attend the screening of a very important film. 

PEOPLE VS. POLITICS

LIVE Q&A PANEL AFTER THE SCREENING

Ever more partisan and divisive, democracy is imperiled throughout our nation. But have these Americans found a fix to what ails us?

PEOPLE vs. POLITICS profiles grassroots leaders around the country dedicated to reforming the uniquely partisan and polarizing nature of U.S. elections

Varying in personal background and political orientation, these reformers face similar challenges in placing citizen initiatives on the 2024 ballots in Nevada, Idaho, Colorado, Montana, Alaska & Washington, D.C. They also share a common goal: enhancing people's power through opening primaries and creating ranked-choice (or instant-runoff) general elections, where winners must earn a true majority.

From DC street fairs to Native Alaskan festivals, at house parties, town halls and debates, the film captures the enthusiasm behind these initiatives and the blowback from those in power.

That's People vs. Politics.
