SUMMARY:Film - ADJUNCT-  about Gig Work
DESCRIPTION:Zoom event \nADJUNCT (82 min) (2024)\nDirector: Ron Najor \nTwo showings over Zoom: Sunday\, July 26 at 4:00 – 6:00 pm and 7:00 – 9:00 pm\nYou can join any or both of the two showings ( 4:00 or 7:00) with the same Zoom link. \nAfter the film\, short presentations and an audience discussion \nUnder Gig work in which workers are underpaid with little to no job security is becoming more prevalent.\n“Adjunct” is a feature length movie depicting the all-too-common indignities and exploitation faced by a gig worker in higher education who also drives for Uber.\nToday\, most faculty in higher education are essentially gig workers. These conditions are favored by management\, and\, too often\, in contract negotiations\, are accepted by faculty union leaders.\nMany of these well-educated underpaid gig workers are enrolled in public assistance programs or even homeless as is the main character in the film.\nAfter the showing of the film\, there will be a few short presentations followed by an audience discussion to share reactions to the film and its subject matter.\nThe Movie “Adjunct” Effectively Depicts Gig Faculty Work.\nhttps://www.counterpunch.org/2025/09/05/the-movie-adjunct-effectively-depicts-gig-faculty-work

SUMMARY:US Premier Screening of "When ICE Melts - Testimonies from The Front Lines"
DESCRIPTION:Zoom event\n5:00PM (PST)/7:00 PM (CST)/8:00 PM (EST) \nFilm showing of “When ICE Melts – Testimonies from The front Lines”\n119 minutes (2026) by Kipp Hedges \nJoining the panel after the film will be videographer Kipp Hedges and St. Paul labor historian Peter Rachleff \nIn this US premier screening of “When ICE Melts\, Testimonies From The Frontlines” by videographer Kipp Hedges\, we hear of the voices of trade unionists\, historians and members of the community in Minneapolis and St. Paul about what happened in the fightback against ICE\, the plan of the Fascist Trump government to crush the people of the City. They talk about why Minneapolis was targeted\, how people organized to defend the immigrant community and why the unions and trade unionists became involved in fighting back against the ICE terror tactics. \nMinneapolis which held a Teamster general strike in 1934 is connected to the fight today not only in Minneapolis but throughout the US. They also discuss the lessons of the San Francisco 1934 general strike and why this tactic of unions and working people is a critical tool to defend workers and fight the growing threats to working people and all democratic rights. \nThis is the first labor documentary to break the information blockade of the lessons of this historic struggle for working people in the US.
