Black Friday is coming up. While the lines get frenzied before the sun rises, Sustainable Flatbush will hold their annual Buy Nothing Day potluck.

Join us for a potluck meal, lively conversation, music, and a screening of The Story of Stuff!

Buy Nothing Day offers an alternative to the consumerist excess of Black Friday: a chance to unshop, unspend, and unwind. At Sustainable Flatbush we celebrate this special day by keeping it local and hosting a potluck where neighbors can get to know each other by sharing food and conversation.

We’ll begin the night with a film screening and discussion on The Story of Stuff, and finish with live music! Bring friends and family plus food and/or drinks to share!

The event takes place on Friday at All Souls Bethlehem Church (566 East 7th Street).

• 6 – 7 p.m. — The Story of Stuff film/discussion
• 7 – 8:30 p.m. — Potluck meal
• 8:30 p.m. — Live music from local musicians
