SUMMARY:Sabbath Queen: The Documentary Screening & Q+A (MOMI)
DESCRIPTION:Sabbath Queen: The Documentary\nScreening & Q+A\nFriday\, June 20th\n6:30pm EST\nNYC\n\n\nFeaturing a Q&A with director Sandi DuBowski moderated by filmmaker Danielle Durchslag  \nDir. Sandi DuBowski. 2025\, 105 mins. U.S. DCP. Shot over the course of 21 years\, Sandi DuBowski’s documentary follows Amichai Lau-Lavie\, an Israeli descended from an unbroken line of 38 rabbis stretching back a thousand years. Newly arrived in New York in the late 1990s\, Lau-Lavie is a deeply curious and wildly creative young gay man using performance art to challenge patriarchal orthodoxy.

Nevertheless\, Lau-Lavie shocks his community when he decides to become a rabbi himself\, in the Conservative tradition of Judaism. Powerful\, funny\, and beautifully shot\, Sabbath Queen confronts complex questions about the embodiment of contemporary Judaism.   \nTickets: $17.50 / $12 senior and students / $10 youth (ages 3–17) / free for MoMI members at the Senior/Student level and above. There is a $1.50 transaction fee per ticket for all online purchases.

SUMMARY:Queer Liberation March 2021
DESCRIPTION:Queer Liberation March 2021\nReclaim Pride Coalition’s 3rd Queer Liberation March\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Reclaim Pride Coalition (RPC) will take to the streets on Sunday\, June 27th to stage the third annual Queer Liberation March. As in 2019 and 2020\, this is a People’s March with no regimented contingents\, no corporate sponsors\, and no NYPD control over decision making or uniformed police marching. The Queer Liberation March revives the goals and spirit of the original Christopher Street Liberation Day March in 1970\, born out of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising: social justice\, freedom\, and access for all. \nRally in Washington Square Park to highlight community issues\, organizations and cultural expression. Livestream of the March and the Rally will document both while expanding access to the online communities. \nJoin Lab/Shul at Step Out/Up\, our pre-march ritual kickoff.

SUMMARY:Queer Liberation March
DESCRIPTION:Queer Liberation March for Black Lives & Against Police Brutality\nJoin us and our siblings at the Reclaim Pride Coalition\, to take to the streets of Manhattan for the second annual Queer Liberation March — the Queer Liberation March for Black Lives and Against Police Brutality. Marchers will gather at 12:45pm at Foley Square on Centre St and step off at 1pm sharp. \nLab/Shul will be gathering at 26 Federal Plaza at 12:30pm. You can find us easily because we’ll be holding up our Queer Saints banners! \nReclaim Pride joins with abolitionists such as Mariambe Kaba and others in several cities in demanding a fifty percent reduction in the NYPD budget with a fifty percent reduction in the police force. Those funds must be dedicated to support and services including housing\, healthcare\, education and reparative and restorative justice for Black communities. New York City must prioritize reparations for those who’ve been oppressed and murdered for hundreds of years. \nWhile all Black people are at constant risk of police brutality and murder\, Reclaim Pride\, as queer and trans activists \, recognizes that Black Trans\, Gender Non-Conforming\, and Non Binary people\, especially Black Trans Women\, are faced with the intersection of vicious state and societal racism\, transphobia\, misogyny\, and classism. This must stop now.\n \nKeep Yourself and Others Safe\nMarchers are asked to wear face masks to protect against COVID-19 and to maintain safe distancing. Reclaim Pride can provide a limited number of masks\, hand sanitizer and water to those who need them. And Reclaim Pride will livestream the March online at @queermarch on FB and Twitter/Periscope and via Youtube live on reclaimpridenyc.org for those who can’t attend in person. This March\, like all current protest Marches\, does not have a City/NYPD permit.
