Community Media Day is on October 20, followed by Free Speech Week from October 22-26. To celebrate both, the Belmont Media Center will be hosting an Open Mic on October 20 from 1-5p. They are open to musical performers, poets, mediamakers, artists, politicians and community members with something to say. We’re excited to share that the event will screen a selection of our New Immigrant and Refugee Visions (NIRV) films. Click here for more information.
After Afghanistan fell to the Taliban tens of thousands of Afghans made their way to the United States. They were allowed to stay under a program called “humanitarian parole.” But that status expires in a couple of months, and although they can renew one time, many are calling for Congress to pass the Afghan Adjustment Act, which would allow them to seek more permanent status.
For thousands of Afghans, the American withdrawal from Kabul was just the beginning of a long, dangerous search for safety.
“Recognition of Taliban — violation of women’s rights,” the women chanted during the march, which lasted no longer than 10 minutes in the capital.
