“Based on the book Storming Caesars Palace: How Black Mothers Fought Their Own War on Poverty by Annelise Orleck, the film challenges the pernicious lie of the ‘Welfare Queen,’ and highlights the visionary leadership of low-income grassroots organizers whose courage, tenacity, and dreams could not be quashed, against all odds.”

The film will be followed by a discussion with Mayor Randall L. Woodfin as part of the Embrace Mothers guaranteed income initiative.

This event is made possible through the generous support of Mayors for a Guaranteed Income.
