Another awesome week in Calling Up Justice! So many fun activities taking place in One Free Community. Highlights include movie nights and gameplay. Maiamama did a special Make-up Monday with labor rights history. We updated fiction channel with more stories for the strike, review channel with a new culturally competent film review, and our resource channel with info on creative commons licencing. We produced an Every 28 Hours Plays action for racial justice in Ohio and are fundraising for a big We Charge Genocide TV push. For some joy and education reflect on the Coco Gauff Discourse. Check out the digital portfolio of Digital Resident Elizabeth Mills-low a cool young performer and social justice advocate. Sept 30 is the opening of the Experiments in Art, Access and Technology exhibit making the culmination of 2 years of work. We’ll be visiting LA and will give more details next week. Lastly, thanks to everyone who replies to this newsletter. We love to hear from you! |
