Movie Night: "Finding the Money"
Movie Night: "Finding the Money" October 1, 2026 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
More Info and RSVP:
https://actionnetwork.org/events/movie-night-finding-the-money Description: Maine DSA is continuing our series on public housing and public banking with a movie night. We're screening Finding the Money, the documentary following economist Stephanie Kelton as she takes apart the idea that government spending has to work like a household budget. Public banking and social housing both run into the same "where's the money" objection eventually, and this film is where we start answering it. Screening this film isn't an endorsement of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). It's a starting point for learning the theory, discussing it, and critiquing it, including from a Socialist perspective that doesn't always line up with MMT's own conclusions. Co-hosted with Patrick L. of Modern Money Lab and Gus D. of Maine People's Alliance. Doors open at 6:00 PM, the film starts at 6:30 PM, and we'll open it up for discussion once it wraps. Snacks and drinks provided. This is happening at our office in downtown Portland. We don't publish the address publicly, so we'll email it to everyone who RSVPs 24 hours out. If you have accessibility needs, including wheelchair access, let us know when you RSVP and we'll follow up on what's available at the space. Masking is voluntary at this event. If you'd need masking in place for your own safety, tell us when you RSVP and we'll accommodate that. Space is limited, so RSVP early to hold your spot. RSVP for the address Mask Policy:

Public Housing and Public Banking: History and Current Crisis
Public Housing and Public Banking: History and Current Crisis October 13, 2026 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
More Info and RSVP:
https://actionnetwork.org/events/public-housing-and-public-banking-history-and-current-crisis Description: Session three of Maine DSA's four-part series on public housing and public banking. This one's about how both crises actually got made. Gus D. from Maine People's Alliance and Patrick L. of Modern Money Lab cover the banking side: deregulation starting in the 1970s handed control over credit and investment to private banks answerable to shareholders, not communities. Jade covers the housing side: federal disinvestment from public housing pushed construction and ownership into private hands, increasingly into private equity that treats housing as an investment vehicle rather than shelter. Neither collapse was inevitable. Both came from political decisions, which means different decisions can undo them. This is a Zoom session. RSVP below, and we'll email you the link.
