The Women's Building is experiencing a $200,000 deficit due to federal and local budget cuts, resulting in nine employee layoffs and limited program capacity. To support its mission, the organization has partnered with the Roxie Theater for a screening of the documentary 'No Separate Survival' on July 20. This film highlights asylum seekers' stories from Mexico and Central America and employs a participatory approach through art workshops in California and Mexico. Funds raised through merchandise sales and donations at the event will aid the nonprofit in its continued efforts to serve immigrants.
