Monday, Oct. 21, 6-8 PM: RATIFIED new screen print by Chuck Sperry
A Film Showing of RATIFIED co-presented by Roxie Theater and Spoke Art. Featuring a new limited edition screen print by Chuck Sperry, part of the ongoing Spoke Art curated Roxie Theater poster series. Posters are only available on Monday, October 21. 

RATIFIED is a feature documentary about the 100-year struggle for constitutional gender equality. It’s an inspiring story of a multi-racial, multi-generational, bi-partisan effort to make Virginia the 38th and final state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. It’s also a story of how bureaucracy is used to stifle progress and takes a close look at the incredible perseverance of women – specifically, the Black women leaders who have taken their rightful place at the front of the movement for gender equality.

Tickets HERE

Deepak Puri & Forest Stearns in a post-screening discussion facilitated by RATIFIED subject, Kati Hornung.

Kati Hornung, Executive Director of VoteEquality
Kati advocates for an equality table so large every American can find a seat. Her gender equality advocacy work was memorialized in the movie RATIFIED, as the cameras followed the successful VAratifyERA campaign and later VoteEquality. Kati has a professional background in accounting and software consulting. Although initially involved in advocacy because of her oldest child’s interest, she rediscovered a passion for feminism that had been simmering on a back burner since childhood. Kati is very “task oriented” and the task she most wants to accomplish is the complete dismantling of systemic gender inequality. Step one: closing the equality gap in our Constitution.

Deepak Puri, Co-Founder of Democracy Labs
Deepak is the co-founder of Democracy Labs, a SF based non-profit that connects progressive groups with free and affordable solutions. DemLabs works closely with grassroots groups to identify their needs, finds the best solution to meet them, and then freely shares how to use those new tools through a free blog with over 1,900 case studies. Deepak is a Silicon Valley veteran with fifteen years of experience at Netscape, Oracle, and VMware.

Forest Stearns, Artist
Forest Stearns is the Principal Artist at DRAWEVERYWHERE LLC where he produces unique artwork and leads collaborations between artists and institutions. He has a passion for founding Artist in Residence programs that connect art, science, and technology. Currently he is the Creative Innovation Consultant and Artist in Residence co-founder at Google Quantum AI in Santa Barbara, CA. Stearns is an academically trained prolific illustrator, an arts educator, creative facilitator and community builder. Also an engaged father and supportive partner, he was one of twenty-eight artists who launched the national Artists4ERA collection in support of the VoteEquality campaign and the fully ratified Twenty-Eighth Amendment (Equal Rights).
