A new film called Democracy for Sale features North Carolina native and comedian Zach Galifianakis and focuses on how big-money political interests have led to a lack of environmental protection in the Tarheel state, along with tax cuts for the upper class and corporations, education cuts, gerrymandering, and laws designed to decrease voter turnout.

Join Appalachian Voices and the University of Virginia Climate Action Society for a free screening of Democracy for Sale to learn more about North Carolina politics and its parallels to Virginia—and what we can do to fight back.
