  On October 22 at 7:00 p.m., Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic Action Fund, in collaboration with Long Island Black Alliance, NOW-Westchester, Make the Road New York and New Hour for Women and Children – LI, will be hosting a special film screening event of the award-winning short documentary Let My People Vote, a film that covers a day-in-the-life of civil rights activist, Desmond Meade.

   It's Sunday, “Souls to the Polls,” the last day of early voting. Desmond is canvassing door to door. His mission? Assisting people in voting - something our "forefathers marched and died for." What begins as an upbeat day of faith in our democratic process, ends with a heartbreaking realization. Jim Crow is not dead and voter suppression is very much alive.

   After the screening, there will be a special panel discussion with the documentary filmmaker, Gilda Ann Brasch, and film-activist, Marquis McKenzie, along with various activists from the organizations sponsoring the event, to discuss voter suppression and the future of democracy in the U.S. 

  Voting is one of the most essential rights of any democratic citizen, and as we see right now, this administration is using a slew of voter suppression and intimidation tactics throughout the country. Our activists will discuss how they are fighting this scourge that is so antithetical to the idea of modern democracy.

  The event is free but register here for the link: https://watch.eventive.org/letmypeoplevotemovie/play/5f837eba14a9470083a77abc/5f83825dd1fd662170933b90?fbclid=IwAR21l5An8ybpFjtoHgJccSzcy-cVnmGT_gfrTcLeCOxZ17uzECpjAekHR2s

  Concepts in Clay: Artists of Color Online Virtual Exhibit October 26 – December 31, 2020

  
  

  Concepts in Clay features the work of eight Black Artists, and brings together a collective voice that speaks about a variety of themes and processes as part of the continuum of artists of color working in clay in the US today. Clay is the vehicle that amplifies these voices, and within this collection, these artists not only share their work with us, but their thoughts on what present-day America means to each of them. As we move forward in turbulent and uncertain times in our society at large, this exhibition marks a place in time in the contemporary clay artist field.

  The artists selected here make clay works that are wide ranging in the treatments of surfaces, processes, forms, materials and subject matter. This collection also investigates a variety of themes unique to the Black experience in America, from human relationships and interactions, identity and image of self, social justice and

  activism, to the outward expression of inner experiences.

  With an exhibition statement by Paul Briggs, these artists also share their words with us to enhance the experience of visiting an exhibition online, another benchmark in our times.

  Co-Curator Paul Briggs, is originally from New York and is presently an Associate Professor of Art Education at the Massachusetts College of Art, Boston, MA and Director of the historic Saturday Studios Program. Paul has exhibited widely across the US, and his work is in several private collections, as well as being featured in several educational and ceramics publications.

  View online on our website at www.clayartcenter.org.

  Clay Art Center is a nationally recognized non-profit center for the advancement and practice of ceramic arts offering exhibitions, clay classes for adults and children, studio spaces for clay artists and outreach programs in the community. It is located in the heart of Port Chester at 40 Beech Street, Port Chester, NY 10573. Join Clay Art Center for virtual & in-person classes or shop online at www.clayartcenter.org.

  Please join Latino U College Access for Visiones: Dare to Dream, an uplifting and engaging virtual celebration on Thursday, October 29th at 6:30 PM. The event will feature heartfelt testimonials from Scholars and families, an inspirational awards program, and an exciting auction to help raise funds in support of our mission.

  This year’s theme “Dare to Dream” holds much significance for first-generation Latino students whose dreams have been threatened by the COVID-19 crisis. This pandemic has highlighted the critical urgency of our mission as its impact on health, employment, and economic security has been most severe for communities of color and those without a college education. Through it all, Latino U Scholars continue to persevere and courageously pursue their dreams to be the first person in their families to attend and graduate from college.

  Our Honorees have demonstrated incredible commitment to educational equity and opportunity through their work and partnership with LUCA. We are proud to work together with them in fulfillment of our mission to make college dreams a reality for first-gen youth in our communities. Please join us in congratulating our distinguished Honorees: 

   Founder's Award: Dr. Ray Sanchez, Superintendent, Ossining Union Free School District

  • Corporate Partner: Univision New York, Roberto Yañez, President & General Manager
  • Community Advocate: Camille Cunningham, LUCA Volunteer & Former Board Member

  Please join the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center and Iona College for their Annual Kristallnacht Commemoration on November 10 at 7:30 p.m. from the safety and convenience of your own home. 

  A special screening of Holy Silence will be shown.   Holy Silence is a new thought-provoking documentary that examines the individuals in the United States and across Europe who played a crucial role in shaping the Vatican’s response to the rising Nazi threat across Europe.  As the Nazi Party’s power and antisemitism spread across Europe in the 1930s-40s, how did one of the world’s most influential institutions—the Catholic Church—address and confront the Nazi regime and its law, particularly the persecution of Jews?  Furthermore, how did the Catholic Church’s response influence its followers in Nazi-occupied Europe?

  After the screening, there will be a LIVE panel discussion Steven Pressman, director of the documentary, Dr. Adam Gregerman of St. Joseph’s University, Dr. Kevin Spicer of Stonehill College, and Dr. Suzanne Brown-Fleming of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
