Advocating for social justice - one film at a time

Membership

Membership Benefits Everyone

We are now offering lifetime memberships for the White Rock Social Justice Film Society for a one-time fee of $20.

Membership provides you an opportunity to support a locally active voice for social justice. Furthermore, you can participate in our annual AGM to nominate, vote for or join our executive team. Members share in the benevolence of allowing everyone to attend our activities independent of their ability to donate.

Members and non-members are welcome to attend the monthly film showings. Admission is by donation (suggested donation: $10). However we will never turn anyone away based on their inability to donate.

You are welcome to arrive early at our events and ask to become a member.

Your membership fees and donations allow us to meet the considerable costs of acquiring film rights, advertising events, and providing a venue. The volunteer board of directors thank you so much for your generosity.

The “goal is to get people thinking and talking – one doc at a time.”
— Tom Zillich, Surrey Now

“When we are really honest with ourselves, we must admit that our lives are all that really belong to us. So it is how we use our lives that determine what kind of men and women we are. It is my deepest belief that only by giving our lives do we find life. I am convinced that the truest act of courage, the strongest act of humanity, is to sacrifice ourselves for others in a totally non-violent struggle for justice. To be human is to suffer for others.”
– Cesar Chavez

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
– Edmund Burke

“Rebel children, I urge you, fight the turgid slick of conformity with which they seek to smother your glory.” – Russell Brand

“For nonconformity the world whips you with its displeasure.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions.” – Adlai Stevenson

“Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves… (and) the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.” ―Howard Zinn
