A WAY YOU CAN HELP SUPPORT ABORTION RIGHTS:
Donate to Dr. Caitlin Bernard’s GoFundMe
OB/GYNs and abortion providers across the country have started a GoFundMe in support of their colleague, Dr. Caitlin Bernard. Dr. Bernard has come under intense scrutiny after treating a 10-year-old rape victim and needs urgent assistance as well as security for her family. The GoFundMe was set up to help her pay for these expenses. Any remaining funds after her legal/security costs are covered will help create a legal/PR/security fund for other abortion docs who come under fire.

Alma’s Rainbow (4K Restoration) - Written and Directed by Ayoka Chenzira
Ayoka Chenzira's unsung 1994 dramedy, "Alma's Rainbow," revolves around a mother and daughter who regularly butt heads yet are going through parallel coming-of-age journeys. Mother Alma (Kim Weston-Moran) is celebrating the 10th anniversary of her hair salon's opening while wistfully thinking about the other roads she could have taken, trying to avoid the advances of one suitor, and considering pursuing another. Daughter Rainbow (Victoria Gabrielle Platt) is in the middle of puberty, uncomfortable with her developing body, disturbed by the way boys her age are treating girls, and intent on pursuing dance. The fissure between Alma and Rainbow widens when Alma's free spirit sister, Ruby (Mizan Kirby), returns home to Brooklyn after spending a decade in Paris. (Rachel Montpelier)
The new restoration of “Alma’s Rainbow” is now in theaters.
