The Candidate — A Special Virtual Screening

You are invited on January 16th to stream The Candidate and join me for an IG live afterwards

If we have learned one thing over the past decade, (over the last week alone?) it is that corporate and dark money influence has desecrated our politics and undermined the very purpose of a government that exists by, of, and for the people. On January 20th, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States of America. As we reflect on how we got here, again, I am eager to share with you The Candidate, a feature length documentary on my two runs for U.S. Congress. Let’s Address Stream This.

When Is The Event & How Do I Get My Ticket?

The Candidate Screening is Thursday, January 16th at 8pm CST

Get Your Ticket: https://kinema.com/events/the-candidate-xkxnrk

The screening will be followed by an Instagram Live at 9:30pm CST with yours truly Qasim Rashid, Lamorne Morris (Emmy Award winning actor, and The Candidate Producer), and Jack Newell (Award winning film director, and The Candidate Director).

What Is The Candidate?

The Candidate documents progressive democrat Qasim Rashid as he battles xenophobia, covid, and corporate interests in two different Congressional races against corporate bought well-funded incumbents; first against a Virginia Republican in 2020, and in 2024 against an Illinois Democrat.

Starring: Qasim Rashid

Produced by: Lamorne Morris

Directed by: Jack C. Newell

A Final Note

I would love nothing more than every person who reads this to attend the virtual screening, and then join us at www.instagram.com/qasimrashid for an Instagram Live afterwards to ask your questions, share your thoughts, and watch Jack and Lamorne poke fun at me. We’ve poured our hearts and souls into this project, and we are so excited to share it with you.

I firmly believe that we can build a better politics for all people in this country, but it must come from a place of meaningful justice and accountability. Let’s get started by activating, organizing, and uniting on a collective vision to build that more perfect Union we all deserve.

Reserve your ticket and I look forward to seeing you on January 16th at 8pm CST!
