Greetings Everyone:
I'm writing to invite everyone (who's based in the Bay Area) to twoSan Francisco Women Against Rape organized screenings of NO! (The Rape Documentary) on Thursday May 17 and Saturday, May 19.
For me, the purpose of these two screenings is to definitely raiseawareness abount intra-racial rape and sexual assault, while raisingmoney for SFWAR.
NO ONE will be turned away due to lack of funds. However, I am personally asking those of you who have the resources to pay more than the requested sliding scale donation to please pay more because SFWAR (like too many rape crisis centers in this country) needs financial support.
If you're not based in the Bay Area, please spread the word to yourfriends/comrades/colleagues who are based in the Bay.
Peace,
Aishah Shahidah SimmonsProducer, Writer, Director NO! (The Rape Documentary)
***Please forward widely***

SFWAR presents two screenings of NO! The Rape Documentary

Winner of both a juried award and an audience choice award at the 2006 San Diego Women Film Festival, this ground-breaking feature length documentary explores the international reality of rape and other forms of sexual assault through the first person testimonies, scholarship, spirituality, and activism of African-Americans.

  • CARLAGIRL PHOTO was founded on 14 February 1999 by Carla Willliams, a photographer, writer, and editor, born, raised and heading back to (yea!) Los Angeles, California.

    It was established with two goals: to be able to make my own work widely available for free, and to make accessible my research about artists of the African Diaspora, especially photographers, and in particular women. As it developed it grew to also include GLBTQ artists.
