Happy Pride!

We are excited to co-host this year's Baklaan Movie Night with Circa Pintig. Join us on June 12 for a screening of the 2009 classic Filipino film "In My Life". There will be a brief program to discuss the cultural significance of this film. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own blankets and/or pillows. Register through the QR code or the linktr.ee in our bio for full event details.

See you there!

SATURDAY, June 6th at 1PM - USPCN alongside HCW4P and Codepink are holding a protest demanding that the American Medical Association (AMA) call for the immediate release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and all Palestinian healthcare workers detained by Israel!

As Dr. Abu Safiya’s health declines, his situation grows more dire - we must protest and demand for his freedom, as well as the freedom of all our beloved Palestinian political prisoners! Invite your family, friends, and all you know to come out to this protest and JOIN US! ✊🏽

THAT'S A WRAP!!! 🙌🏽🎉🌺
