Talking Eyes Media (TEM), a non-profit organization with a long history of producing powerful media for pressing issues, needs your support for their Bring it to the Table Kickstarter campaign.
What is Bring it to the Table?
It’s a video and web project that brings citizens together around issues that normally tear us apart.
The Problem
Somewhere along the line, politics replaced sex as the one thing in America we don’t discuss in mixed company – even amongst friends and family.
Democracy is founded on robust dialogue, and if we can’t have conversations across party lines, democracy doesn’t work.
The Solution
Bring it to the Table is a participatory online platform, community engagement campaign, and a series of webisodes aimed at bridging political divides and elevating the national conversation. The project is for those who are tired of hyper-partisanship and want to steer political discourse back into the hands of the American people.
Bring it to the Table is a project of Talking Eyes Media, an award-winning documentary company whose work has appeared in National Geographic Magazine, The New York Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and on Good Morning America, CNN, Discovery, MSNBC, and PBS stations nationwide.
How to Help
Watch the video above. Donate to the campaign. Share the project via social media, and join us in making politics an acceptable topic for dinner conversation again.
THE BARE MINIMUM NEEDED for the table tour is $30,000 for travel expenses for a four-person crew and costs related directly to initial production. Ultimately the campaign is aiming for $50,000 to complete post production on the webisodes and launch a robust outreach campaign. Any money beyond that will be used to enhance the project website and bring the table to more communities, including college campuses.
Bring it to the Table is a non-partisan project and Talking Eyes Media is non-profit, so your donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
