I proposed the Yes Men, and I think they're still officially on the speakers list, but without a shot of being actually invited.  I pass this along as a brief intro to those of you who may not know who they are.  I think their movie is also on HBO (maybe it's an earlier one), but this looks like an interesting event, and according to the Senator web site, one of the Yes Men will be at the premier along with Dr. Flowers.

The Yes Men have an unusual hobby: posing as top executives of corporations they hate. Armed with nothing but thrift-store suits, the Yes Men lie their way into business conferences and parody their corporate targets in ever more extreme ways - basically doing everything that they can to wake up their audiences to the danger of letting greed run our world.

Margaret Flowers, MD leads Maryland Physicians for National Health Plan and serves as the national organization's Congressional Fellow. She is one of the leading advocates in the country for expanded and improved Medicare for All.
