Racially Charged: America's Misdemeanor Problem
Documentary Screening & Panel Discussion
Vashon Theatre
Tuesday June 10, 2025
6:00pm
Doors at 5:30pm

Everyone is invited to attend the Documentary Screening of "Racially Charged: America's Misdemeanor Problem" followed by a Panel Discussion with members of Community Passageways & Vashon-Maury Standing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ).

America’s Misdemeanor Problem exposes how our country’s history of racial injustice evolved into an enormous abuse of criminal justice power. 13 million people a year – most of them poor and people of color – are hurt and families damaged by this system.

Through first-person accounts of those charged under the Black Codes of the Reconstruction era paralleled with the outrageous stories of people trapped in the system today, the film brings to light the unfolding of a powerful engine of profits and racial inequality.
