Urgent Moment for THE ENCAMPMENTS: Don't Miss Out!

1. The film could be removed from the theaters as quickly as it arrived if it doesn't sell enough tickets THIS opening weekend.

2. For a very limited time, this film has the potential to spread in theaters everywhere, with a message in defense of Palestine, the student movement and Mahmoud Khalil. That is mass cultural impact if we succeed.

3. Independent documentaries usually don't get in theaters at all, and they rarely last for more than one weekend. We don't have corporate advertising, so we are counting on the movement!

Bring your friends, family, and anyone still on the fence. Don't miss it and don't assume you can watch it next week! Now is the time!

Breakthrough News is proud to announce a new partnership with Eyes Left, a platform to bring you the stories of this new generation of anti-war active duty service members and veterans.

Eyes Left was originally launched by Mike Prysner and Spenser Rapone, two military veterans turned anti-war activists, as a podcast dedicated to discussing organizing among veterans active-duty service members. Now, Mike will be joining us to turn Eyes Left into a full-fledged video platform to tell these stories while also discussing military news and helping active and former military personnel become part of the anti-war movement.

We’re excited to embark on this new project but we also need your help to sustain it. Eyes Left currently has no dedicated staff members, which we will need to keep the project running. If you want to support this project, please considering becoming a donor to the Breakthrough News’ Patreon.

We’re always looking for active duty service members and veterans to share their stories with us and become contributors to Eyes Left. If you are a veteran or currently in the military, please leave a comment on this post and we will reach out to you. We can work with you anonymously as well.
