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.
Advocate for Afghan Refugees
Your help is needed to advocate for refugees like Shekib and his family.
The Trump administration suspended the US refugee program and funding for refugee resettlement. This has stranded tens of thousands of refugees already vetted to enter the US and hundreds of thousands more who were in process.
Here are some options for your advocacy:
– Church World Services action-alert to oppose Trump’s indefinite refugee ban
– United in Welcome – Tell Your Elected Officials: We Value Welcoming
– Refugee Council – Quick Reference Guide and Top Four Ways to Take Action
