❤️ My American Dreams Premier Screening and Benefit for Undocumented Victims of the Fire

Thu, November 16, 2017, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

On Thursday, November 16th from 6-9pm, My American Dreams (www.MyAmericanDreams.org) is hosting a benefit for undocumented fire victims at the Sebastopol Arts Center. The event includes a catered reception, silent auction, and premier screening of the new 30-minute PBS documentary film, The Only Home I Know. The viewing will be followed by a panel discussion.

The Only Home I Know is a collaborative effort between My American Dreams and Define American founded by former Washington Post reporter, Jose Antonio Vargas. The film tells the story behind Vargas’ high profile expose of himself as an undocumented immigrant. It includes highlights from his presentation at the My American Dreams event at Sonoma State University in January 2017. Also featured are profiles of six young North Bay DACA recipients, including local artist Maria De los Angeles.

Tickets are $50 and available online at www.MyAmericanDreams.org. Working with Undocufund (www.UndocuFund.org) and LandPaths Bayer Farm Meal & Heal Program (www.landpaths.org), one-half of the proceeds will be used to assist undocumented immigrants who lost their homes or jobs in the recent fires. The other half of the proceeds will be used to fund My American Dreams programs of advocacy for DACA recipients and other undocumented immigrants.

Tickets and additional information are available at http://www.myamericandreams.org/events.html. If you have questions or would like additional information, call Claudia at (707) 867-9818.
