What an amazing event! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for last night’s screening of "It's Basic!" We loved seeing so many community members come together to enjoy a great documentary showcasing an effort we believe in deeply. Thank you to Delila for sharing her experience as a The Bridge Project mom and thank you to Pamela Williams from MKE Elevate for moderating. A special shoutout to Milwaukee Film for helping put the event together.

Comedian, disrupter extraordinaire Lizz Winstead (co-creator of The Daily Show) and her team of activists crisscross the U.S. to support abortion clinic staff and bust stigma. Pop culture icons and next-gen comics fuel this six-year road film activating small-town folks to rebuild vandalized clinics, exposing wrongdoer politicians, domestic terrorists, and media neglect as the race to the bottom ensues. A bold call to action reminds us that when the patriarchy burns down, joy will prevail. 10/21 at 7 PM No One Asked You: mkefilm.org/nooneaskedyou #documentaryfilm #milwaukeewi #humanrights
