Event description from organizers:
"SURJ Boston is working to raise $3000 for The Black Response Cambridge this coming month! As fascism heats up, funders have cooled off - and we need to step in to fuel TBR's crucial work.
The film, co-written by TBR's own Stephanie Guirand, is a dramatization drawing from the lived experiences of transient Black men in Cambridge. It explores themes of family, commitment, perseverance, poverty, success, fatherhood, incarceration, love, care, and healing."

Event description from organizers:
"Abilities Dance Boston presents the fifth iteration of our Intersections series: highlighting BIPOC and disabled honorees past and present... we highlight queer/trans identities, womxn/nonbinary identiites, and more to really highlight the further intersectional nature of their lives and communities impacted by their work and advocacy. We’re thrilled to translate their lived experience to music, movement, and narrative for all to understand the depths of their remarkable work, while connecting it to bills on the Massachusetts state floor to dive into the real impact these bills have/could have on their life journeys.
Our honorees this year are Claudia Alick, Dr. Baiyina Muhammad, Casandra Xavier, and Tom Wiggins. These honorees work in dance, theatre, and producing accessible performances (Claudia Alick); researching the lived experience of blackness and disability (Dr. Baiyina Muhammad); utilizing technology and other mediums to advocate for the deaf-blind community; and being a lesser known ancestral musical prodigy (Tom Wiggins). We’re honored they shared their time and life journey with us to dig deep into creating compelling works. Artistic direction/choreography is led by Founder/Executive & Artistic Director Ellice Patterson. Musical composition is created by Director Music & Operations Andrew Choe."
