Proceeds from the August 18th event in Sag Harbor support the film’s impact campaign benefiting:

Black Voters Matter believes in working directly with communities to define agendas and implement solutions that create meaningful change. With this in mind, Black Voters Matter is rallying voters, amplifying issues impacting Black communities, and emphasizing the power of every vote as a tool for change.

The Purple Parlor Fund is deploying financial capital in support of RED, WHITE AND BLUE’s impact initiative, bringing the film, its dialogue, questions, and impactful story to audiences who have been traditionally closed to the conversation. This particular opportunity will be especially potent in states and locations that are not unequivocally partisan, often referred to as ‘purple,’ where RED, WHITE AND BLUE presents a possibility for common ground and civil reconciliation. Target audiences will be comprised of people from different faiths, economic realities, party affiliations, and levels of political awareness, engaging in discussions that explore how legislation introduced or enacted after Dobbs is impacting the lives, health, and safety of friends, neighbors, and loved ones, including in ways that some may find surprising. The Purple Parlor Fund’s primary goal is to spark many personal and private conversations—beyond the in-theater or talkback experience—which can subsequently take place within families or subsets of communities. Collectively, these many interruptions, in aggregate, can make a meaningful difference this fall and beyond as we head into another pivotal election where issues of economic justice, reproductive rights, and the right to one’s bodily autonomy will disproportionately impact the lives of so many.

★ ☆ ★ RED, WHITE AND BLUE will be headed to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, and Washington, D.C throughout summer ‘24 and into fall. We will be adding screenings benefitting new partners around the country and dates will be announced shortly.
