Alien Boy has been selected by Street Roots newspaper for it’s June 2008 ACT NOW! advocacy page.
On the back of every issue, ACT NOW! gets the readers of Street Roots excited about taking direct action to make change.
We have asked friends of Alien Boy to host small fundraising parties at their home or office and invite their friends and family members to support Alien Boy and get an update about our project.
We’ve done great with our fundraising to date. Over the summer we hope to hold at least ten parties to bring more support from individuals to the film. Planning is beginning for a benefit in the Fall at the Wonder Ballroom.
Street Roots is a nonprofit, grassroots newspaper that assists people experiencing homelessness and poverty by creating flexible income opportunities. Through education, advocacy and personal expression, they are a catalyst for individual and social change. The production of Alien Boy was Street Root’s cover story in May.
Street Roots is sold by vendors at dozens of locations all over town.
