For Friday

Trashing the World?

Just how immediate and severe are the impacts of our world's trash buildup? Academy Award-winning actor and political activist Jeremy Irons narrates the new documentary Trashed, showing us the long-lasting impacts of our consumer culture. Hang around afterward for a discussion of the film. 

Friday Night at the Meaningful Movies: Trashed, Fri, November 29, 7–9:30pm, Keystone Congregational United Church of Christ, 5019 Keystone Place N, Seattle, free.

For Thursday

Give Thanks and Give Back

This Thanksgiving, show your gratitude by donating food or time to local food banks and organizations, such as Seattle's Union Gospel Mission, a group that feeds and provides emergency care to Seattle's homeless.

Don't have enough food on your own plate? Join Toscana Pizzeria or Piecora's on Capitol Hill for their annual free Thanksgiving feasts for those in need.

Feed the Hungry/Volunteer Opportunities Around Capitol Hill, Thu, November 28, various times and locations.

For Wednesday

Drink Up and Talk Politics

Meet up with old and new left-leaning pals to talk about politics at Burien's monthly Drinking Liberally meeting. 

Drinking Liberally, Wed, November 27, 7pm, Mick Kelly's Irish Pub (in the back room), 435 SW 152nd St, Burien.
