Outside winter feels like it will never end... but we are feeling warm in here. Check out our window boxes, where the plants have miraculously survived the interminable cold and ice. By storing up love, they keep their greenery green.

BORN TO FLY is still on the move with special screenings and digital releases.

Listen to this song as you read. 
Tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of Selma's Bloody Sunday. 
(And the award for this song is one of the few things #OscarsSoWhite got right.)

Who Could Use Free WHATS ON YOUR PLATE? Books

Do you know an organization that empowers kids? That helps kids learn about where food comes from, what's in it, and why it's making so many people so sick? 

We'd like to give them free books! What's On Your Plate? books include stories, recipes, and cool activities that inspire readers of all ages to be more conscious about food politics. We continue to donate free copies through our Buy a Bundle/Give a Bundle program. 

Please email brette@aubinpictures.com 
if you know of an awesome nonprofit, after school program, or faith based organization where kids make healthy choices, lead active lives, and fight for food justice. We might just send them free books (and if we do, we'll send you a free bundle too!)

A few things we love...
During a violent physical attack on the streets of Greenwich Village in 2006, four Black lesbians defended themselves and then rightfully claimed their innocence in the courtroom. They became known as the New Jersey 4. The courts convicted the women of felonies and sentenced them to severe prison terms. Now, they are home, and they are strong. 

Run, don't walk to catch blair dorosh-walther's documentary Out in the Night. Help fight mass incarceration. Fight for safety, care and protection of marginalized LGBTI people of color.

The New Leaders of Social Justice

This is actually two things we love: many leaders and a growing social justice movement.

REVOLT profiles some of the young, passionate, and influential organizers who are taking action and making change for low income and people of color communities around the country. We love this article because it demonstrates the power of the leader-ful structure of the new social justice movement. 

Who is Dayani Cristal?

The team behind Who is Dayani Cristal? not only made a compelling and visually stunning documentary, they also started a powerful social impact campaign in order to change the inhuman border policy. 

Check out their social impact report which details the direct impact their film and advocacy has had on immigration reform.




Huge Victory for Net Neutrality

 

People raised their voices and challenged telecom giants and big money! As a result, the FCC voted last week for strong net neutrality protections, ensuring the the internet remains open and accessible to everyone. 

 

"Our ability to be heard, counted, and visible in our democracy depends on net neutrality, because it allows voices and ideas to spread based on their quality - not the amount of money behind them." - ColorOfChange.org

 

Thank you to all of the awesome organizations and individuals who fought for this democratic right. Let's keep our voices raised! Outdoor voices!
