MeaningfulMoviesProject We help communities organize, educate, advocate & build community around social justice documentary film and conversation. More: www.meaningfulmovies.org

ABOUT THE MEANINGFUL MOVIES PROJECT:
“Meaningful Movies” are neighborhood film & discussion events (and groups), organized around shared principles. We focus on social justice issues and advocacy.

“The Meaningful Movies Project” is a non-profit organization that helps neighborhoods, groups and individuals organize, educate and advocate using the power of social justice documentary film and conver

sation to build positive and meaningful community. It is the organizing arm of the Meaningful Movies Network, facilitating communications and providing resources and support.

“The Meaningful Movies Network” is a collective of autonomous neighborhood and community Meaningful Movies groups that have agreed to work together and support one another. WHAT WE DO:
We advocate for public discussion and critical debate in an environment where everyone is free to speak openly without fear. We empower citizens to gather, educate, inspire, connect, and commit to effective, non-violent solutions in building a more peaceful and just world. We support building meaningful & resilient community. We encourage and assist communities and organizations in their efforts to become more aware of and critically analyze local, domestic and international social justice issues. We support independent film. To be truly sustainable, we need to view our efforts holistically. This necessarily includes the efforts of the independent film industry we depend upon (and who depend upon us), and view them as true partners in this effort. Permission is secured for all copyrighted materials including every feature film screened.

“The Meaningful Movies Project” evolved from the success of “Friday Night at the Meaningful Movies” in the Wallingford Community of Seattle, originally a project of Wallingford Neighbors for Peace and Justice and the S.N.O.W. Coalition (Sound Non-violent Opponents of War).
“The Meaningful Movies Project” now acts to provide support for “Friday Night at the Meaningful Movies”, NOW KNOWN AS "Meaningful Movies in Wallingford" and similar efforts by many others. We are grateful for the support of several granting institutions including The Tulalip Tribe, Humanities Washington, The HerRay Foundation, 4Culture and ArtsWA.

❤️ A Personal Message from the Heart of MMP

Hi everyone, I’m Tongtong CHEN, and today I want to share a piece of my journey with you.

Growing up, cinema was my sanctuary. During my most confused and uncertain youth, it was movies that helped me find my way. As a new immigrant to the United States, navigating a whole new world wasn’t easy—until I found the Meaningful Movies Project.

Here, I didn‘t just find a volunteer opportunity; I found my people. MMP gave me a community of like-minded souls, taught me new ways of working and living, and most importantly, gave me a profound sense of purpose and self-worth. That is the greatest meaning of all.

Help us celebrate our Executive Director's (Melinda Raebyne Films) birthday with a donation! Right now our total in donations is $3,426 out of our goal of $5,000 - because of you we're more than halfway there. Each of your generously donated dollars will go directly to a new website for Meaningful Movies Project (MMP). Our current website is twelve years old and in internet age - that's ancient! A new website will help expand our community reach, boost efforts to visually tell our organization's story, and make it easier for supporters to navigate and find info. ✨

Hi! I'm Samm, a volunteer on MMP's Marketing/Social Media Team. I've been a part of the organization for a few months and in this short time I've had the opportunity to meet and connect with some really great folks. I appreciate being part of an organization that is rooted in creating impact within a variety of social justice spaces. MMP offers free film screenings as a medium to bring people together and promote discussion around systemic disparities. Hope you can join us for a meaningful movie soon! 🎞️🎬🍿

Thank you all for the support we have received for our Birthday Donation Campaign so far! Our total is now $2,055.27. We are just shy of being halfway to our goal of $5,000.00. We really need your support to make sure we reach our goal. The campaign lasts until June 8th, so there is still time to donate!

    Donations go towards supporting our new website. This will help make accessing our content and social justice screenings easier. This update is essential to helping us to continue to sustain and grow the MMP Community. 

I’m Abby Lin and I have been a part of MMP for four years now since I started as a High School Intern. I am now a part of the MMP Board and Media Content & Social Media Team. Over these years, I have been so fortunate to meet so many excellent people through MMP and engage in many purposeful conversations through the screenings. I am so grateful for this inspiring community and MMP’s commitment to social justice and community dialogues. Donations make this work possible, so I would like to take this opportunity again to thank you all for your participation. For those who have not yet donated, the link is http://meaningfulmovies.org/donate/.
