<div></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">As you may have heard, Tim gets released from the prison system on April 21st, 2013 &#8212; one day before Earth Day. And we think it&#8217;s only appropriate to celebrate and welcome him home, with <i>echoes of love resonating all over this land</i>.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">On Earth Day, PeaceUp is organizing a</span> <a href="http://www.bidder70film.com/" target="_blank">screening of Bidder70</a><span style="color:#000000;"> in Salt Lake City: the <i>first that Tim will be able to attend since the movie premiered last year!</i> In conjunction with this event, the filmmakers (Beth &amp; George Gage) have partnered with a film distributor,</span> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GathrFilms" target="_blank">Gathr Films</a>, to <a href="http://gathr.us/films/bidder-70/request-new-screening" target="_blank">organize countrywide simultaneous theatrical screenings</a>.</div>

<div><span style="color:#000000;"><i>We invite YOU to BE THERE for Tim&#8217;s first PUBLIC APPEARANCE since his incarceration on July 26, 2011.</i></span></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">From the screening in Salt Lake City, we will live-stream out the <i>hour-long post-screening discussion and Q&amp;A with Tim</i> so that everyone, no matter where they are watching, will be able to participate: by watching and/or sending questions via Twitter. <i>It wouldn&#8217;t be a true PeaceUp celebration without song</i>, which is why we&#8217;ve invited <i>our dear friend Bryan Cahall</i> </span>(<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xTag_Z5DzQ" target="_blank">whose song Arise you will recognize in the movie</a>) <span style="color:#000000;">to join us in a jam session as well. </span></div>
