Upcoming Events

Shuffle GCC event

Shuffle

Monday February 23 - 6:00pm

Greenfield Garden Cinemas

Join us for a screening and discussion of the award-winning documentary Shuffle. Shot over three years, the film follows three individuals whose lives depend not on entering treatment, but on getting out alive. The film exposes a growing, insurance-driven cycle of addiction treatment fraud sweeping the country. Drawing on his own experience, the filmmaker weaves personal stories into a wider investigation. With insight from an FBI informant, an insurance analyst and the former executive director of a Philadelphia treatment facility, Shuffle reveals a web of public policy and private interests exploiting vulnerable people for profit. Featuring a talk-back with the filmmakers via Zoom directly following the film. Free and open to the public—but guests are encouraged to buy concessions! RSVP requested.

The Struggle is Eternal: Learning from the Movement GCC event

The Struggle is Eternal: Learning from the Movement

Wednesday March 4 - 3:30pm

Join this interactive online discussion featuring historian and author Dr. Joseph Fitzgerald, and moderated by Dr. Angela Campbell, Vice President of IMCC. The program explores the lives and legacies of Black women organizers Gloria Richardson and Barbara Smith, centering Black women’s leadership, student activism and coalition-building across social justice movements. Drawing connections between the Cambridge Movement in Cambridge, Maryland, and student activism in Holyoke, Massachusetts, the discussion examines how past struggles for civil rights, women’s civil liberties, and community accountability continue to shape contemporary movements for justice and freedom. By linking historical and present-day activism, the program invites the community to reflect on its own traditions of social justice engagement and to consider the ongoing responsibilities of allyship, accountability and collective action in dismantling systemic oppression. Free and open to the public. RSVP for the Zoom link. [gravityform id="93" title="false" description="false"]
