The alonovo.com People Before Profit Film Series

[Note: Promoted by mole333]

In order to help educate the public and build community around the theme of "People Before Profit", we need your help. Beginning February 10 with "The Corporation" we are planning a series of nationwide house parties, each of which will be followed by a 30 minute conference call with the filmmakers, authors and/or subject matter experts.

We are honored that Professor Joel Bakan, author of "The Corporation" and others will be joining us for the event.

Over the next several months, the alonovo.com house party film series mission is to help people understand how ExxonMobil, Wal*Mart, Halliburton, Enron, General Motors, Union Carbide Kimberly-Clark and others that put the pursuit of profit above all else, harm society, the environment and our resources. We will be presenting films from Hello Cool World, Brave New Films, MoneyTalks, Ashoka and others that offer compelling independent media that is either edgy or inspirational, and all related to corporate behavior.

As egregious corporate behavior is a theme that impacts all of us, I would be personally grateful if you could help us with visibility for the event. If you could help promote the series to your community it would be of great value to your constituents. If you are able to help us we would be happy to list your organization as an event co-sponsor or major co-sponsor and provide a link back to your site, or an educational campaign you may have developed which is aligned with the film or film series.

about alonovo.com:
Founded by George Polisner in summer 2005, alonovo.com is a mission-focused for-profit entity. Our ultimate goal at alonovo.com (besides being economically viable and eventually profitable) is to inform and educate marketforce demand (consumers, corporate and institutional procurement) about which corporations are externalizing costs to society versus evolving to balance people, planet and profit. When we (and others that are working to provide an equivalent demand result such as Knowmore, ethiquette.ca and CoopAmerica) achieve sufficient mass we will create higher equity value for Socially Responsible Investment portfolios, and attract more money and investors to the SRI space. By addressing capital from both the demand and investment side of the equation, the synergistic relationship will accelerate the "race to the top" -----the transition to clean, renewable energy, fair labor relationships, and an equitable, sustainable and growing economy.

We recently announced a very attractive revenue sharing plan to help us achieve scale. Now, participating alonovo beneficiary organizations such as United for a Fair Economy, Conservation Value, Social Accountability International, CODEPINK, the Breast Cancer Fund, the Toxics Information Project, Global Exchange, Listen for Life, Global Justice and others that are encouraging their constituents to leverage the alonovo.com portal for their online shopping will be receiving 100% of the Amazon shopping revenue that we generate on behalf of their registered users. All other organizations we support (but are not yet making alonovo.com visible to their communities) will be receiving 50% of the revenue generated.

Words to live by

"When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it so that its professors are obliged to call for help of the civil power, 'tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one."


— -- Benjamin Franklin, letter to Richard Price, October 9, 1780, quoted from Adrienne Koch, ed., The American Enlightenment: The Shaping of the American Experiment and a Free Society, New York: George Braziller, 1965, p. 93.
