Film Screening

We are partnering with Visionary Justice Story Labs for a showing of Grrrl Justice, an experimental narrative short by filmmaker
Shontina Vernon. Grrrl Justice explores the rising rates of girls and queer youth of color in the juvenile justice system through the lenses of gender and sexuality.

Following the film we will join Black Youth Project 100 and the Ruth Ellis Center for a youth panel. Panelists will share about how the film's themes of surveillance and school to prison pipeline impact Detroit youth on a daily basis.

by La’Ron Williams.

Join us for a screening of acclaimed film Owned, A Tale of Two Americas, which dives into the troubled history of the U.S. housing economy.

‘The Devil We Know’ tells the story of residents of Parkersburg, West Virginia, who courageously rose up against the chemical industry. For years, they had noticed rampant health issues among their neighbors and witnessed the sudden death of livestock on their farms. Against all odds, they put the pieces of an environmental mystery together and discovered the toxic chemical PFOA / PFAS in the drinking water of tens of thousands of people.

We will start off with watching "Fix It," an excellent documentary outlining the benefits of transitioning to a single-payer health care system. We will then have discussion with State Rep. Yousef Rabhi, who will be introducing a Michigan single-payer healthcare bill into the state legislature.
