Film Club – DORR @ One Night in Miami
Feb 26 @ 5:00 pm

This Month’s Film:

Two of our DORR board members co-host a happy hour Zoom discussion each month on a select political film.  Just watch the film before the discussion, grab something to eat and drink, and be ready to discuss!  We’ll send you some questions to think about before the discussion. Contact [email protected]  for more information and ZOOM invite. 

We are celebrating the Golden Globes and Black History month by viewing One Night in Miami for our next DORR political film group.  Available free on Amazon Prime here.

Regina King’s directorial debut, One Night in Miami is a fictionalized account of before and after the Cassius Clay/Sonny Liston fight on February 25, 1964, when Clay’s upset victory earned him the World Heavyweight championship.  After the fight, Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir), Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge), Cassius Clay (Eli Goree) and Sam Cooke ( Leslie Odom Jr) gather at the Hampton House motel.  Based on a play by Kemp Powers, the film shows the private behind the public as the four icons discuss racism, freedom, and social justice.

The film received three Golden Globe nominations, one for its director, one for best actor in a supporting role for Leslie Odom Jr. who plays singer Sam Cooke, and for best original song recognition for “Speak Now.”  Regina King is the second black woman to receive a Golden Globe nomination in the best director category.

DORR Political Film Group @ Zoom
Mar 19 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Greetings film fans, We’d like to keep with awards season, but shift this time to Minari (Amazon), just awarded the Golden Globe for best foreign language film.   Directed by Lee Isaac Chung and drawn from his own experiences as a child, Minari is the story of a Korean family who moves to Arkansas, via California, in search of the American dream.  New York Times film reviewer A.O. Scott wrote  that “Chung’s touch is careful and precise. Everything is weighed. Nothing is wasted.”

If you want a pairing, Ellen Kamerling suggests House of Sand and Fog (Amazon), based on the 1999 novel by Andre Dubus III.  The film is the story of a conflict between an Iranian immigrant family and an American woman over a Californian coastal house.  Also a character study, Roger Ebert wrote “Like great fiction, House of Sand and Fog sees into the hearts of its characters, and loves and pities them.”

Let’s meet Friday, March 19 at 5:00 on zoom.  We look forward to a rich conversation about immigration, equity, economics, dreams, and wherever else the films lead us.

DORR’s political film club is hosted by DORR board members Mik Jordahl (Attorney) and Frankie Riemer (Professor). To sign up, send an email to [email protected] and ask for the Zoom invitation.  If you signed up for any of our previous films, your name is already on our list for the invite.

We’ll send a zoom invite a few days before the discussion.   Just watch the film/s before we meet, grab something to eat and drink, and be ready to discuss!

The Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC)  is meeting March 23rd at 9:00 am.   The meetings are open to the public.  The link to the meeting is https://youtu.be/ZyUt8nuRFi4.

The Commission just selected an Executive Director, and is in the process of hiring staff and becoming fully operational.  They have a new website at  https://irc.az.gov/, but it is not fully built out yet.

The link to view the agenda is https://irc.az.gov/sites/default/files/meeting-agendas/3.23.21%20IRC%20Agenda.pdf.   One of the agenda items is to discuss options for securing legal counsel.  They can continue with representation from the Attorney General’s Office or “hire legal counsel, that is already procured, from the Attorney General’s Outside Counsel List” or continue with the RFP/procurement process.  The second and third options have not been clearly explained to the public.  Also yet to be decided is whether the Commission hires one law firm, or one law firm to protect Democratic interests and another law firm to protect Republican interests.

If you would like to submit public comments, this link,  https://forms.gle/Ganu5pFv2v9rekUT8  will be activated shortly after 9:00 am, and remain open until just before the meeting adjourns.

Arizona’s Independent Redistricting Commission is re-formed every ten years to produce Congressional and Legislative districts.   Prop 106, passed in 2000, gives them the authority to produce new maps “independent” of the State Legislature.   They are mandated to start with a clean slate and produce maps that:

  • Comply with US Constitution
  • Comply with the Voting Rights Act
  • Are of equal population
  • Are geographically compact and contiguous
  • Respect communities of interest
  • Use geographic features, city, town and county boundaries, and undivided census tracts
  • Are competitive

 

This year’s Commission is made up of two Democrats, two Republicans and one Independent.  Commission members are:

Erika Schupak Neuberg, Chair (Independent)

Derrick Watchman, Vice-Chair (Democrat)

David Mehl, Commissioner (Republican)

Shereen Lerner, Commissioner (Democrat)

Douglas York, Commissioner (Republican)

The second LWVNA DEI Committee meeting will commence with Ms. Alejandra “Alex” Gomez, the Co-Executive Director for Living United for Change in Arizona (LUCHA), speaking about the history of Arizona’s Latinx community through the present, plus some of LUCHA’s current legislative concerns and past legislative successes. Following Ms. Gomez’ presentation, Ms. Amanda Aguirre, President and CEO of the Regional Center for Border Health, Inc. (RCBH), will speak about her journey to the Arizona State Legislature, and critical current state and national legislation impacting the Latinx population within Arizona and the U.S.

Alejandra “Alex” Gomez has dedicated her life to social justice and building community through power grassroots organizing. At LUCHA, Alex helped lead the effort to raise Arizona’s minimum wage and turn Arizona blue in 2020. Rooted in her family’s immigration struggle, she led the DACA organizing efforts and expanded DACA at United We Dream National Network as the National Deputy Organizing Director. She also was a Regional Field Director for Organizing for America.

Amanda Aguirre has been involved in health care and business administration for more than 35 years and has served in her current capacity at RCBH since 1991. In 2003, Ms. Aguirre became the first female and first Hispanic to represent Arizona House District 24 (now Legislative District 4) before serving in the Arizona State Senate from 2006 to 2010. During her Arizona legislative terms, former Senator Aguirre passed significant bi-partisan legislation.  In 2006, HB 2526 created a special “Breast Cancer Awareness” license plate, the proceeds of which benefit cancer screening for uninsured women.  In 2008 SB 1263 was passed, “Steven’s Law,” requiring that private medical insurers provide Autism Spectrum Disorder service coverage under their insurance plans. This program is free. To register, use https://tinyurl.com/ygbsvkvr .  Problems registering?  Please email: [email protected].

The League of Women Voters Northern Arizona (LWVNAZ) is a nonpartisan, political organization, neither supporting nor opposing candidates or political parties at any level of government, but always working on vital issues of concern to members and the public.  We encourage informed and active participation in government, and work to influence public policy through education and advocacy.  LWVNAZ is an organization fully committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in principle and in practice.

Greetings film aficionados, join us for a stimulating conversation on the war in Bosnia with an International Criminal Court prosecutor of war criminal Radko Mladic.

We’re keeping with award nominees.  We’ll view “Quo Vadis, Aida?” ($5.99 on Amazon), a Bosnian war drama written, produced, and directed by Jasmila Zbanic and nominated for an Academy Award for best International Feature.  In his New York Times review, A.O. Scott called the film “unsparing and astonishing.”  https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/11/movies/quo-vadis-aida-review.html
You can also read about the film at https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/17/movies/quo-vadis-aida-jasmila-zbanic.html?smid=em-share.

Federal Magistrate Judge Camille Bibles will join us for the conversation.  Before becoming a Judge, Ms. Bibles prosecuted Bosnian Serb colonel-general Ratko Mladic during her time at the Hague.  She is a central figure in the Front Line one-hour episode, “The Trial of Ratko Mladic´,” available at https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/the-trial-of-ratko-mladic/
