Minnesota Immigrant Movement (MIM) – Fundraiser for Rent Assistance Program
Join our friends at the Minnesota Immigrant Movement (MIM) for a fundraiser in support of their Rent Assistance Program. The fundraiser will be a screening of the film “BORDERLAND | The Line Within” by Pamela Yates and Paco de Onís. Following the film, Producer Paco de Onís will join via zoom for a live Q&A session with the audience.
ABOUT THE FILM: Director Pamela Yates and Producer Paco de Onís capture the lives of immigrants coming from Venezuela seeking refuge from a violent culture.
The United States border is not just a geographic location. The border is everywhere. It lies within every undocumented immigrant family with the threat that at any moment they can be captured, incarcerated, deported; their lives destroyed. BORDERLAND | The Line Within not only exposes the profitable business of immigration and its human cost, but weaves together the stories of immigrant heroines and heroes resisting and showing a way forward, intent on building a movement in the shadow of the border industrial complex, recognizing the human rights of all.
By donating and attending this film screening, you will are supporting our community with rent assistance. There will be a Silent Art Auction showcasing works created by Minnesota immigrant artists.
Minnesota Immigrant Movement continues to show up during these traumatic and difficult times for our communities through rent support, food assistance, rapid response, and DOPA Application assistance. Before this occupation, during this occupation, and after we will continue to be here for our community.
Thank you to all that are supporting our community during these difficult times, we are immensely grateful for all the love and solidarity.
