The Bloom Collective will be hosting an event on Tuesday, September 27 at 7:00PM, in the basement level of the Steepletown Community Center, located at 671 Davis, NW in Grand Rapids.

According to the facebook announcement, they will show the film Million Dollar Militia (Big Noise Films – 22 minutes), a film that critiques the US effort to create an Afghan Army that will provide security if and when the US ever leaves.

After the film there will be an opportunity to brainstorm ideas for potential actions in Grand Rapids to draw attention to and resist the ongoing US occupation of Afghanistan.
