Thank you again for your interest and support of Beyond Elections: Redefining Democracy in the Americas. We had an amazing tour- showed the movie in over 20 locations to hundreds of people all across the country – and are now back home in Brazil but that doesn’t mean our work is done.
Our distributor in the United States and Canada, PM Press, officially began distribution on Oct. 28, 2008, and we are still working to promote Beyond Elections across the country. But we need your help.
Ways to Help:
1. Talk to your library, your movie rental and local bookstore and ask them to carry Beyond Elections, available through PMpress.org
2. Hold your own Beyond Elections house party or local showing. Please contact us if you're interested in presenting it in your community, and we can send a copy for your local screening.
3. Help us get Beyond Elections in the hands of elected officials all across the country. Buy a copy of Beyond Elections online between now and Inauguration Day (and mention this offer) and we'll send another copy- free of charge -to the elected official of your choice (just mention this offer and send us the name and address of the representative when you buy your copy).
4. Join our Facebook Group & tell your friends. Only with your help will we be able to get the word out.
Thanks again for all of your interest and support.
Sincerely,
-Michael Fox & Sílvia Leindecker

A decade ago, South America experienced a continental economic collapse. The response from the street included protests, occupations, ballot-box revolutions, and finally, solutions. Now experiencing our own economic catastrophe, those same South American solutions can serve us well here in the North. The film, "Beyond Elections," presents a most complete, detailed, and informative documentary record of the economic democratization taking place throughout Latin America. Show it, watch it, and learn from it. ~ Ben Manski, Liberty Tree
Beyond Elections is a thoughtful exploration of how decentralized power structures can help communities thrive, as average citizens take responsibility for their own destinies.
~ Jason Stone, Resource Center of the Americas
"Beyond Elections proves that democracy can and should be more than casting a ballot every four years. This empowering documentary gives hopeful and concrete examples from around the Americas of people taking back the reigns of power and governing their own communities. Beyond Elections is a road map for social change, drawing from communal councils in Venezuela and social movements in Bolivia to participatory budgeting in Brazil and worker cooperatives in Argentina. The film gracefully succeeds in demonstrating that these grassroots examples of people's power can be applied anywhere. Particularly as activists in the US face the challenges of a Obama administration and an economic crisis, this timely documentary shows that the revolution can start today right in your own living room or neighborhood." ~ Ben Dangl, editor, Upside Down World & Toward Freedom
