i highly recommend this film; it's one of the best documentaries I've seen

Greetings Everyone:

I'm writing to invite everyone (who's based in the Bay Area) to two
San Francisco Women Against Rape organized screenings of NO! (The Rape 
Documentary) on Thursday May 17 and Saturday, May 19.

For me, the purpose of these two screenings is to definitely raise
awareness abount intra-racial rape and sexual assault, while raising
money for SFWAR.

NO ONE will be turned away due to lack of funds. However, I am 
personally asking those of you who have the resources to pay more than 
the requested sliding scale donation to please pay more because SFWAR 
(like too many rape crisis centers in this country) needs financial 
support.

If you're not based in the Bay Area, please spread the word to your
friends/comrades/colleagues who are based in the Bay.

Peace,

Aishah Shahidah Simmons
Producer, Writer, Director NO! (The Rape Documentary)

***Please forward widely***

Simmons. Winner of both a juried award and an audience choice award at

length documentary explores the international reality of rape and 
other forms of sexual assault through the first person testimonies, 
scholarship, spirituality, and activism of African-Americans.
