In the meantime, … Continued

This gathering is more than a film screening—it is a space for honest dialogue, reflection, and connection. You’ll hear directly from people whose lived experiences challenge assumptions and deepen our understanding of how cycles of harm take root and how they can be broken. Your voice and perspective matter in shaping the solutions that will define our communities for the next generation.

STOP FLOCK! NO DATA FOR ICE! Flock’s AI-powered surveillance cameras track anyone in view. Across the country, including in California, data from these cameras has been used by ICE to target immigrants and support mass deportations. Recently, in our neighboring cities of San Francisco and Oakland, police illegally funneled data from these cameras to ICE-– despite being established sanctuary cities since the 1980s. Although Berkeley is also a sanctuary city, our city has not publicly promised to protect our data from ICE or other federal agencies. 78360
