As you know, NEIPJC relies on the generosity of our donors and we would like to do a little something to thank you for your support.
So, for every individual donation made between now and December 9, 2021, you will receive a link to a complimentary weekend screening of an inspiring documentary, ‘No Time to Waste – The Urgent Mission of Betty Reid Soskin’!
Use our website to donate and be sure to include your email address. On the evening of December 9th, check your email for your link to enjoy the film. The link is valid for 72-hours only and will allow you to stream anytime over the weekend of December 10th, 11th and 12th.
$10 donations are encouraged, however, the most important thing is for you to receive the opportunity to learn about and from this amazing woman. Betty began her work as a National Park Ranger at 85 and turned 100 here in 2021! She’s still working.

In NO TIME TO WASTE, we celebrate legendary 99-year-old park ranger Betty Reid Soskin’s inspiring life, work and urgent mission to restore critical missing chapters of America’s story.
NO TIME TO WASTE: The Urgent Mission of Betty Reid Soskin celebrates legendary 99-year-old park ranger Betty Reid Soskin’s inspiring life, work and urgent mission to restore critical missing chapters of America’s story. The film follows her journey as an African American woman presenting her personal story from a kitchen stool in a national park theater to media interviews and international audiences who hang on every word she utters.
The documentary captures her fascinating life; from the experiences of a young Black woman in a WWII segregated union hall, through her multi-faceted career as a singer, activist, mother, legislative representative and park planner to her present public role.
At the Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park, Betty illuminates the invisible histories of African Americans and other people of color. Her efforts have changed the way the National Park Service conveys this history to audiences across the U.S., challenging us all to move together toward a more perfect union.
