NYC: Nationwide Rallies SAVE IMMIGRANTS RIGHTS

MONDAY, APRIL 10 NYC - Downtown at City Hall

3-7 PM
Wear white On Monday, April 10th

join a multitude of Asian American organizations joining with other immigrant groups to rally against a law being debated in Congress that would make it illegal not just to be an illegal immigrant, but would imprison a priest or minister from talking to one and not turning the person in, would imprison a doctor for treating an illness and not turning the person in, would imprison a legal spouse for marrying one and a child for not reporting their parent. Join in saying these ideas are inhumane!

LEGALIZATION NOT DEPORTATION!
IMMIGRANTS FIGHT BACK AGAINST EXPLOITATION & RACISM!
WE PRODUCE, WE DEMAND: JUSTICE & PROTECTION FOR ALL WORKERS! LEGALIZATION NOT CRIMINALIZATION! FAMILY REUNIFICATION NOT SEPARATION!

In response to anti-immigrant legislation under consideration in the Senate, thousands of immigrants & allies, workers, and youth walking out of high schools will march together on April 10th's Immigrant Rights Mega Rally at City Hall.

WALK OUT, TAKE OFF, CALL IN SICK----WE ARE THE WORKERS WHO RUN THIS CITY AND THIS COUNTRY, AND WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED!!

As momentum builds across the country & mixed messages reach our communities, the Immigrant Communities in Action contingent will march with these messages:

*The fight is not over! We have not won in the Senate. There are still severely anti-immigrant provisions to expand detention, deportation, & border militarization in the bill. We must stand firm against all anti-immigrant provisions!

*No guest-worker programs of work & leave!

*We will not divide our communities!! We will not trade off more deportations and policing of our communities, sisters & brothers at the border for the legalization of some!

Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros (The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros) is scheduled to open the New Directors/New Films Film Festival at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) on Wednesday, March 22, 9 p.m.

There will be two subsequent screenings at the Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theatre on Thursday, March 23 at 6 p.m. and Saturday, March 25 at 1 p.m.

Witness the blossoming of Pinoy indie cinema in this Best Picture winner at Montreal, Toronto, Singapore, Rotterdam, and Berlin.

Click here to buy tickets.

From moma website:

The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros
Auraeus Solito, Philippines, 2006; 100 min.

M-22b: Wed., Mar. 22: 9 p.m.;
W-23a: Thur., Mar. 23: 6:00 p.m.;
W-25a:
Sat., Mar. 25: 1:00 p.m.

A remarkable feature film debut, Maximo Oliveros is the irresistibly endearing tale of a twelve-year-old Filipino boy named Maxi who lives with his outlaw father and thuggish older brothers in the teeming slums that ring Manila. A neighborhood favorite despite his flirty walk and elaborate hair accessories, Maxi cooks, sews, shops, and brings a note of welcome warmth to the motherless, all-male household. One night Victor, a kind rookie cop, saves Maxi from a beating, and a very special friendship blooms. Smitten with the handsome law enforcer, Maxi is torn between his loyalty to his brutal yet loving family and his attraction to the young cop. Infused with warmth, humor, and wisdom, the film is a layered portrait of a different kind of community. Nathan Lopez as Maxi and JR Valentin as Victor make an unforgettably odd couple.

SCHEDULE and HOURS

Housed in the newly refurbished Exhibition Centre at the South Street Seaport, this striking new exhibit showcases real human bodies, giving visitors the opportunity to see themselves in a fascinating way like never before. Both captivating and edifying, Bodies unveils the many complex systems of organs and tissues that drive every aspect of our daily lives and unite us all as humans.

Although the intense study of human anatomy has traditionally been reserved for the medical community, this unique exhibit offers a rare opportunity for us all to examine and understand our own bodies including an up-close examination of the skeletal, muscular, respiratory, and circulatory systems. The various specimens showcase and exhibit healthy body parts and highlight the effects of disease, revealing how dramatically our daily choices influence our health.

NEW YORK, NY, January 23, 2006--Much of the Jewish Lower East Side has been lost over time replaced by new immigrants from other parts of the world, particularly China. Those seeking their fortunes in Manhattan's Chinatown are in for a surprise -- Chinatown has fallen on hard times. Its economy has not bounced back since the street closures caused by the collapse of the World Trade Towers on 9-11, but other factors have contributed to the downturn, too. Reporter Wilma Consul takes a look, and asks what's ahead for the neighborhood that was once an important immigrant enclave in the City.

DARWIN: for 21 years he kept his theory secret
"The most in-depth exhibition ever mounted on Charles Darwin, the highly original thinker, botanist, geologist, and naturalist, and his theory of evolution."

LOCATION:

79th street and central park west (directions)

Before Darwin was born, most people in England accepted certain ideas about the natural world as given. Species were not linked in a single "family tree." They were unconnected, unrelated and unchanged since the moment of their creation. And Earth itself was thought to be so young—perhaps only 6,000 years old—that there would not have been time for species to change. In any case, people were not part of the natural world; they were above and outside it.
