Disappeared In America Movement Call

We are living through a defining moment for our country.

Across the nation, immigrant families are being targeted, detained, and disappeared — and these attacks are being weaponized as part of a broader authoritarian campaign to divide communities, silence dissent, and erode our most basic freedoms.

The Disappeared in America Weekend of Action — happening November 1 – 2 — is our collective response. Join this national call to learn how you can host or participate in an event, connect with others across the country, and help build a movement rooted in solidarity, compassion, and the defense of fundamental freedoms.

Ain't No Back to a Merry-Go-Round: Film Screening and Workers Circle Q&A

Ain't No Back to a Merry-Go-Round: Film Screening and Workers Circle Q&A

Five Black students rode a segregated carousel in 1960, igniting one of the earliest organized interracial civil rights protest in US history. Ain’t No Back to a Merry-Go-Round is the untold story of the Jews they marched with, the Nazis they provoked, the Congressmen they inspired, and Civil Rights leaders they became. The Workers Circle plays an important role in this award-winning film. Join us at the IFC Center for a screening to be followed with a Q/A featuring filmmaker Ilana Tractman, Workers Circle CEO Ann Toback, and activist Rev. Mark A. Thompson, moderated by justice advocate Joan Grangenois-Thomas.
