After 4 years of videotaping and another six months of editing, the Visible Community is excited to announce the public premiere of Neighbor by Neighbor: Mobilizing an Invisible Community in Lewiston, Maine and invite you to attend.

Where: Lewiston Public Library - Callahan Hall

When: February 26th, 6:30pm-8:30pm with discussion after

Here is a link to the trailer...

The Visible Community is a downtown neighborhood community group that is best known for organizing neighbors to oppose the ill-conceived Heritage Initiative first proposed by the City of Lewiston four years ago. The initiative would have put a four lane boulevard through the heart of the downtown, displacing over 800 residents. The group was successful in stopping the road and since has worked on campaigns that push the city to include the voices, hopes and desires of downtown residents in the planning and development decisions that affect them. I have been lucky to work with this group over the last few years and am excited to invite you to view a feature-length documentary about the group!

Because the event is open to the public, we cannot guarantee seats.  But if you arrive early, that should be enough.
