Join us Thursday, October 22 at the Sixth Street Community Center for a FREE screening of the
film, followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A.

A Home Worth Fighting For is a 40-minute documentary that takes viewers inside the struggle at
Fulton and Elliott-Chelsea Houses, where longtime residents are organizing against the demolition
of their public housing.

Bringing this conversation to the Lower East Side is especially important. The neighborhood is
home to a large concentration of NYCHA developments, making questions about privatization,
preservation, resident power, and the future of public housing especially relevant here.

The screening will be followed by a conversation about the ongoing fight in Chelsea, the issues
raised in the film, and what the decisions being made today could mean for public housing
communities across New York City.

This screening was made possible in part by Marquis Jenkins, L.E.S. District Leader and
community organizer, who has been on the front lines of efforts to protect public housing on the
Lower East Side and across the city.

Date: Thursday, October 22
Location: Sixth Street Community Center, 638 E 6th St, New York, NY 10009
FREE and open to the public

Hispanic Heritage is more than celebrating where we come from. It is remembering who fought for us to be here. ✊🏽

This Hispanic Heritage Month, Sixth Street Community Center invites you to a special FREE screening of ¡Palante, Siempre Pa’lante! The Young Lords as we celebrate the film’s 30th anniversary.

The Young Lords organized around the issues impacting Puerto Rican and Latino communities—from healthcare and education to housing, poverty, and community control. Their story is one of resistance, organizing, cultural pride, and people refusing to accept that their communities deserved less.

That history is part of our Hispanic heritage, too.

Following the screening, join us for an intimate conversation and Q&A with Iris Morales, former Young Lord and producer of ¡Palante, Siempre Pa’lante!, as we reflect on the movement, the making of the film, and what this history can teach us today.
