The Excluded Worker Fund has failed to reach many vulnerable workers in Upstate and Western New York during the pandemic. They ask you to join in contacting our state representatives and urge them to replenish this fund so that New York State residents that have been left out can receive this critical aid.
Through the week of 2/4 – 2/10, at various show times, the North Park Theatre will be showing FLEE, a movie told mostly through animation, based on the true story of the extraordinary journey of Amin as a child refugee from Afghanistan.
FLEE tells the story of Amin Nawabi as he grapples with a painful secret he has kept hidden for 20 years, one that threatens to derail the life he has built for himself and his soon to be husband. Recounted mostly through animation to director Jonas Poher Rasmussen, he tells for the first time the story of his extraordinary journey as a child refugee from Afghanistan.

Join the Rochester Committee on Latin American (ROCLA) and Latin American Solidarity Committee of the WNY Peace Center (LASCwny) tonight for: #WitnessAtTheBorder featuring Joshua Rubin.
Joshua Rubin, a software developer from Brooklyn, New York, is a member of the leadership team for Witness at the Border. He was a witness at the Tornillo, Texas influx detention facility for migrant children, and at a similar shelter in Homestead, Florida. These facilities held over 3,000 children at their peak; both no longer do. Rubin led the Witness project on the ground in Brownsville/Matamoros in early 2020, and leads the Biden-era child detention Witness project.
